Well my puppy is only 2 and half pound, he just got all the shots he needed, and this is the 3rd time I brought he out for a walk. I own few dogs b4, and I know how people feel about poo on their yard. That's why we walk on the road not on the side walk.
Hi everyone. I need some advice for what happen to me today.
I just came back from a walk with my 3 months old puppy. On the way of the walk, I got stopped by a SUV and the drive ask me did I pick up the poo while I walk the dog. I told him that my puppy only poo inside of the house, because he is still too young. He drove off and after few minute around the corner of the street, the same SUV drove up to me again with some speed. I put my hand up to tell him to stop before he ran us over. He rolled down the window and I asked who he is.
He told me that he is the owner of the property "the whole neighborhood". Because me and my puppy was on the road not on the side walk, I told him that I got right to walk my dog on the road and we didn't do any thing illegal. He said that the neighborhood is undeveloped and the road is not release to the city yet. So he said I need to leave and he can call the police on me.
I told him to go ahead because I didn't do anything wrong. Then he try to ask what is my name and where do i live. I only gave him my name. Than he was trying to follow me and told me than he will find out where I live and he will get my a$$. I ignored him and called the Charlotte city police dept.
His neighborhood is right next to mine.
Did I do any thing wrong?
Is he right about I am walking in the private property?
Well, now you've editied your post to add some more info...
IF this is not a city street and is in fact privately owned like the guy said, then you were trespassing and he had to right to ask you to leave. He didn't have to be so ugly and rude, but some people just are. Have you been able to verify if this was a private road?
But franco - you haven't told us whether the puppy (or your other dogs) pooped on the road, the sidewalk, or someone's yard when you took him out to walk.
Even if you let him poop on the road, it is not allowed.
I get the feeling English is your second language, so please forgive me if I misunderstood you.
My neighborhood is all around by the other neighborhood. Every time I go to school I need to drive on that road. Is it anyway I can find out about the road?
The point is we didn't do anything wrong and I just want to know what is my right to walk my dog. You can't assume everyone is a criminal on the street.

Just a little FYI that other dog owners/walkers can do when they see someone walking their dogs without bags; offer them one of yours. As a responsible dog owner I get ticked when others allow their dogs to poop anywhere and not pick it up. So I kindly say to them " I see you forgot your bags here's one of mine to use to pick up your dogs poop".
We have a sidewalk that runs throughout our subdivision and I always walk my dog on it quite frankly because I think it's safer. I've never come across anyone getting peeved at me for my dog pooping in their yard since I always clean it up. I don't allow her too far in their yard of course so she only poops on the out skirts of their yard.
I am the owner or a new dog and the dog has been trained to only poop in the yard. I carry bags with me but he never goes whilst out on a walk - but as soon as he gets home he heads straight for the natural area. So for those of you who don't believe that a dog won't poop on a walk, it can be done. In fact as a fervent watcher of Cesar Milan he actually promotes not letting your dog do his business on the walk!! Now if only I could get Cesar around to deal with the jumping!!!
