Its rude plain and simple. Personally I would have went outside and told him directly to get off my property. If he is too stupid and stubborn to understand that it's rude,perhaps further action needs to be taken.
What a silly and baseless hypothesis - comparing human behavior with an animal's. It has nothing to do with whether or not some people consider their dogs family, they never said their dogs were human beings. Most dog owners do control their pets and lead them to common ground and do not deliberately and maliciously guide them to private property for the purpose of having them pee on someone's lawn.
If a dog owner can't control their dog from going on private property ( aka trespassing) how can they prevent them from going onto the road/street.
If a dog is........." just as much a part of family as my kids are "......do you let kids trespass?
When I take my dog for a walk I like to say he is checking his "pee-mail".
He goes on the area between the sidewalk and street - I don't let him in someone's main lawn. Hope people always pick up the poo - if not it makes for bad poo karma!
........."I don't let him in someone's main lawn ".....
If you can prevent your dog from trespassing , so can other dog owners !
Last night a women who lives in my development was walking her beautiful large Husky. She proceeded to let the dog urinate on my front yard, near a tree and a flower bed. We added an element to our alarm system that alerts us to someone in our yard (not near the street) so we looked out when we heard the alarm and watched the owner allow the pet behavior.
I do not know the owners, but have seen them before in the neighborhood and they seemed pleasant, waving, etc. I posted a mention on our HOA FB page that I thought was improper pet owner behavior and rude.
Of course I was summarily blasted by other residents.
Is it too much to ask that all the hard work my 71 year old husband puts into our yard, restoring it from neglect from the previous owner and spending money on flowers, fertilizer, etc. to think dog walkers would curb their dog and use city-owned grass areas near the street? I don't feel it is asking too much.
The owner responded that, basically, his dog could pee anywhere it wanted, it wasn't something he considered or worried about and that he picks up feces per city rules. I understand that there may be a generational difference of opinion here. He was not totally impolite but his responses as well as other responses had a snarky quality to them.
I just wonder how these people would feel if I deposited about a pint of urine on their front yard and flowers.
Opinions, please.
They probably would laugh their @ss off and trip over themselves to get their phone to record the old lady depositing urine on their lawn.
You live in a neighborhood, honestly were you under the belief that dogs would not pee in your yard? Let's come back down to the real world and accept the realities of the environment you choose to live in.
Its rude plain and simple. Personally I would have went outside and told him directly to get off my property. If he is too stupid and stubborn to understand that it's rude,perhaps further action needs to be taken.
What further action is that? Please enlighten us as to what you would have done, when he looked and laughed at you.
Call the police, yeah have fun convincing an officer to do anything but sigh and roll their eyes.
Generational, my big ole butt. I'm 50 and I think you need to get over yourself.
It's pee. It's not going to hurt your precious grass, for goodness sake. I have four female dogs and my grass and flowerbeds are just dandy.
Not to mention, it was passive-aggressive and cowardly to boot. You could have walked outside when your little alarm went off, and talked to the neighbors yourself.
I can only imagine what nickname your neighborhood has given you.
The urine burns the grass, we have to cut out the sod and replace it. Has happened exactly where this dog has urinated.
Say what you will. I'm tired of paying for a dog to use my lawn as a toilet. Unsanitary.
The neighbor made haste when my husband and I went outside, after view the instance from our window...
Some people care about their property, home values and neighborhood. Perhaps that is a concept that some may not understand.
