[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you live in an apartment and have to let your dog  poop on public property (definitely not private), there is no reason your dog needs to poop while out for a walk. Walk your dog before you feed it or after it has already pooped. The purpose of the walk should be for exercise, not pooping and peeing all over the neighborhood and killing the greenery. The majority of dog walkers I encounter are not exercising their pets. Rather, they are walking at a snail's pace while their dogs pee on everything in sight to mark territory. [/quote]

You do not have a dog, especially a male dog, if you think you can control when they poop/pee. [/quote]

+1. That's not how dogs work.  Once I learn to speak dog I'll be sure to tell them not to pee or poop in your yard.  Fwiw we always pick up our dog poop and dispose of it at our house. [/quote]

Bull! I speak from experience. My dogs have all died, but I used to walk my very large male and female dogs 45 minutes every morning before I fed them and again in the evening for another 45. Plus, I used to work for a boarding kennel and have cared for hundreds of dogs. Dogs are like babies, and a dog who eats on a schedule will poop on a schedule. You shouldn't free feed. Look it up. It's a  fundamental step in house training.

And, yes, you can absolutely train dogs not to urinate all over the neighborhood. Make sure your dog poops and/or pees before you leave your property or the designated public area, and then go for your walk. Keep its head up with an appropriate restraint, making sure it's alert, and move briskly. Don't walk slowly, letting your dog sniff every bush. If you mosey and continuously stop to check your phone, of course the dog is going to mark. When you stop to cross the street, command the dog to sit, so it doesn't pee. The goal of a walk is to drain energy, and it's the owner's responsibility to discipline through setting boundaries. The dog will get more out of the walk.

The majority of dog owners lack common sense and don't understand dog behavior.  [/quote]
