[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rules are:

dogs can pee or poo anywhere there is grass or a tree

dog owners have to pick up the poo

My personal rule is to not let my dog go more then maybe two feet into a yard.

I also don’t let my dog pee or poo if a yard has a sign that says “no peeing/pooing here”.

No, no, no.

Your dog ahould go ZERO feet into someone else's lawn

Np. I wish we could gross the virulent ‘keep your dog off my lawn!!’ posters with the virulent ‘how dare you have a manicured lawn, it’s bad for the environment!’ crew.

I’ll say that if your lawn is so precious and manicured that you can’t tolerate a neighbors dog peeing on it, you are probably doing something far worse for the environment and society in general [/quote]

Nice try, clownshoes. I grow flowers and food on my lawn, and I don't need your approval for either. Keep yourself and your mutt(s) off my property and we'll never have trouble. [/quote]

You grow food on your front lawn? So by definition it’s not a lawn. See the difference? [/quote]

If I grow food on my property, it's my property. If I grow grass on my property, it's my property.

What, pray tell, is the difference?[/quote]

Go to the home garden thread and ask about a manicured lawn.

But yeah, I call BS. You’re not growing corn on your front lawn. [/quote]

DP and I don't even have a lawn (condo) but we have lots of new chairs who grow food in their front lawn. Usually herbs that get used for cooking but sometimes vegetables as well. We live in a row home neighborhood where few people have backyards, so people who like to have kitchen gardens get creative.

I do think it would be insanely rude to let your dog pee on someone's rosemary or basil plant! That's disgusting. In general, I think dogs should pee in areas where there are no cultivated plants (including grass if that's what someone wants to grow) and [b]also where you are unlikely to have kids playing or people picnicking. I personally don't find it hard to find locations that meet this criteria and feel comfortable steering my dog towards them[/b].[/quote]

Where are the locations that meet your criteria? Can you name them so others can visit if indeed it is an area that's okay for dogs? Because how do you know a kid doesn't play in that area or people picnic there? Are you watching that area 24/7 to know? A spot where you think it's okay for your dog to pee or poop could be a spot used for picnics or for a kid to play on[/quote]

If it belongs to you, your dog can use it. If it doesn't, don't.

Why does this need to be any more complicated than that? Your dog, your dog's mess, your problem, so keep it on your property.[/quote]
