Not even that.

I don't hate dogs. There are many great ones

I don't hate dog people. There are lots of great ones.

I don't even hate dog owners. Some really wonderful dog owners out there.

I DO hate selfish, entitled, irresponsible, and inconsiderate dog owners/caretakers (OP falls into this category).

I love dogs. I have dogs. I adore animals.

But I do not let any of my household use my neighbor's property as a toilet- human or otherwise- because I am a civilized human being.

Last weekend a lady came out of her house and yelled at me as I was picking up my dog's poop in her yard. It was like she was literally standing by a window, waiting for a dog to poop in her yard so she could come out and start yelling. She said the next time my dog pooped there, she would call the city. As far as I know, it is not illegal for a dog to poop on private property, as long as the owner cleans it up. She said the poop created brown spots in her yard. I have no idea how she would even know it was my dog. Lots of dogs get walked around the neighborhood, and I don't even walk by her house very often.

What do I do or say to this lady the next time I see her?


Did you really just write that sentence? What about the law of property? Can I just come over to your lawn with my toddler and have him poop on your yard?

You don't get to decide when to use someone else's lawn as a bathroom, OP. Your dog is your problem, and yours alone.

I hope you vigilantly chase all the squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, etc. from your yard as well because, my god THE HORROR, if they poop on your precious lawn.

Dogs poop. As long as the owner cleans it up, who cares.


I have a huge fenced in back yard. Not once have I encountered poop from a squirrel, rabbit, raccoon etc. And I see them often in our yard. BUT on the front part of our yard that's not fenced, I have found huge piles of dog poop. So yeah, don't let your dog poop in my yard.


Ha ha ha ha. This made me laugh so hard.
PP, do you even know what squirrel, rabbit, or raccoon poop looks like?
If they are in your yard, their poop is there too even if you cannot see it.
And, then there is the poop that comes from above - the birds. And, the geese poop.
People, the dog pooped out of doors. The owner cleaned it up. Neighbor still threw a hissy fit.
I hope the next flock of geese heading south decide to land on your neighbor’s lawn, OP. That’ll show her.

You're not looking closely enough. It's there. Animal poop is everywhere. No dog owner should be yelled at for cleaning up after their pet.

OP, you're a bozo. You don't allow your dog to drop his wet turds on your neighbors lawn, period. Even if you do "pick it up."

The late pees do it too - we walk a circuit in our yard. It is rude to have the dog poop on some one else's yard. Today I cleaned up 2 pitbull poops on my grass- 1 saw the stray from my neighborhood plop and one the walker did. 8 feet in. How do I know? My dog barked when these sh1tbulls were on my property. I looked out the window. I've seen people bag poop and then gone and shoveled up some they left.

Skip that house, OP. And try to find a walk that takes your dog past public property, not people's homes.

I love dogs, but no one loves smelling or stepping in the remains of dog poop.
