Going after the lazy dog owner leaving crap, literally

So you are out for a walk and the dog has to go. You bag the poo but what are you supposed to do about the pee????

Don't expect an answer, I have enough land accessible that I don't have to use residential areas to walk my dogs. However its like a 3 year old that needs to go pee, wouldn't let them into my bathroom to do it but if the parents walked the kid to the side of my house to pee I certainly wouldn't be offended or mad.

Every day yeah, but that is the owners fault. Dog is gonna pee where other dogs have, it's their nature.

I'd let the kid use my bathroom, with the parent accomanying ofcourse. Rather that than they have to pee on the side of my house.

I didn't say pee on my house, around the side.

No way I'm letting a stranger into my house. I don't even like some people I know coming in. Friends yes, acquaintances no way and certainly not someone who just happens to live nearby. I've got an issue I know

It amazes me the arrogance of pet owners. I don't recall telling you to let your dog jump on me and slobber all over my skin and clothing.

I think $100 fine is too small, move it to $500 and watch how clean the place will stay.

Easy solution to dogs that jump up: Good knee to their chest when they jump. I do this to anyone's dog that jumps up on me. It is NOT good behaviour and it shold not be tolerated by the owner. I've done this a few times at the dog park. Had one lady begin to cuss me out, but if her dog had some manners it wouldn't have happened. My dogs get the same treatment, and amazingly within a couple of days they have learned to keep it 4 on the floor when greeting people. My dog hasn't jumped up on anyone in about 7 years, unless he is invited to do so.
Considering my dog is a working retriever, his training is more than just the basic "sit" that people are happy with. I know a thing or two about dog training (but still lots more to learn).

can you just toss hot dogs on your lawn? not your problem if their dogs trespass on your lawn to eat it

for cats, just toss a bag of catnip around the owners house:lmao:

Funny enough, I have a huge fear of this happening. I don't let my dog eat anything he finds on the ground because this DOES happen, even in sectioned off dog parks. People are sick.
Sure, to some people dogs are useless, some are just seen as pets. I spend more time with my dog than I do with almost anyone else, years of training with him and having him hunt with me. He isn't replaceable and I have a pretty large investment of time and care in to him.

Poop being left behind or ill mannered dogs isn't the fault of dogs, it's all a problem with the owner. Going for a walk? Bring some bags with you. Dog training starts from the moment you get your friend home. It doesn't matter how small and cute that puppy is, they will be an adult at some point so why not train them when they are young and learn fast?

*I realize it may sound like I'm a bit of a Nazi with dog training. I don't clicker train, and treats hardly ever happen in my training sessions (they do initially while setting up the relationship with the dog). Physical force happens, but it's in a calm controlled manner and things like a little tap on the rear end to remind them to sit etc. Body posturing, confidence, tone of voice and understanding how dogs mentally work is what I use and it works pretty good.
Women tend to have a more difficult time if a dog is thick headed. Since most females tone of voice goes up when they try to be assertive (you know, that shrill sound that makes men's skin crawl) and dogs associate that with happy excitement. Men typically have a lower/deeper tone of voice when they are trying to be assertive/dominant and that is exactly what a dog understands as "I'm in charge".
