[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poop gets picked up, dog leash doesn't extend beyond the first foot or so of lawn.

OP you do realize squirrels, raccoons, deer, birds etc freely use your yard as a bathroom all day and night, correct?[/quote]

not to mention bunnies

First of all, people mentioning acidity are just wrong. Dog urine tends to be neutral or slightly acidic. Browning due to animal urine is due to the nitrogen and basically it is a fertilizer burn. Frequency makes a difference. My (neutered male) dog pees like a race horse in a small area of the yard first thing in the morning and usually when I get home from work. That area is chronically brown, due to getting dosed constantly. Walking, he tags trees, fenceposts, whatever. Quantity is small. Sometimes he will find an area in grass (maybe where a female has urinated?) and sprinkle that--but if dog urine was going to instantly kill the grass, it would have been browning already but those spots are indistinguishable from the surrounding grass. I'm skeptical that dogs being walked are likely to damage other people's lawns although that would depend on the amount of dog traffic and available area for voiding. I have a few regular routes for walking and usually walk 2x a day, 8 to 10 blocks each time, have been doing this the past 7 years, no indication that my dog or other dogs in the neighborhood are killing anyone's grass.

Stop making excuses for your own rudeness.

I have a dog.  I love dogs. [b] When I walk my dog I don't let it pee on other people's property or even on my own.  [/b]Our basement also tenants have a dog.  When they first moved in they routinely let it pee on our front lawn.  Took no time for everything to turn yellow and brown.  I told them they couldn't let the dog pee there and put up a small metal fence.  The lawn is alive again.

Somehow I doubt you regularly inspect your neighbors' lawns for signs of damage from your dog.

Really? Do you have the poor animal catheterized?[/quote]

A little dense are we?  I walk the dog and curb it.  I don’t just open the door and send it out to pee.  Because I care about my own lawn and respect other people’s property as well. [/quote]
