Allow your large dog to urinate in the street? (1 Viewer)

[dwarfboy]

Is it appropriate to allow your large dog to urinate on the street near a house? What say ye?

One of my neighbors sent a sternly worded email to the neighborhood. They accuse a specific(but unidentified) neighbor of allowing their large dog to urinate in the street near their house despite being asked(told?) not to. They don't like the smell of dog urine in the street and dislike seeing the asphalt stained. They included pictures of wet(allegedly from dog urine) asphalt in the email. They want the dog's owner to find some nearby pinestraw for the dog to go in or get the dog to wait until it's around the corner and out of the cul-de-sac on the main road. Our driveways are short, say 1 - 3 car lengths so front doors and garages are fairly close to the road.

I don't own a dog so I'm not the culprit and I don't know which neighbor they are talking about(I have an idea but don't care enough to investigate.) Don't dogs usually find somewhere softer than the middle of an asphalt road? I have an aunt that doesn't pick up her dog's poo, even when confronted, but I've never heard of people having problems with dogs urinating in the street. What's the protocol for dog urination when walking your dog in the street?

I find the situation a bit comical, but at least one of my neighbors is upset enough to attempt to find allies in confronting the large dog owner.

You mentioned "large" several times. I dont see why the dog's size would matter when talking about urine. Peeing in the street seems odd, but Ive never been concerned with where a dog pees. I find it hard to believe that a single dog's urine, in an outside setting, would smell to the point that it was a nuisance. On the flip side, if i was a dog owner and someone asked me not to allow my dog to pee in front of their house, i would abide by that.

So somebody actually took the time to photograph dog urine in the street?

Coming soon to an art exhibit near you: Dog #### in photos

Is the owner walking the dog and letting the dog piss in the road or is the dog doing it on his own and they let him? If I'm walking my dog I don't walk him in the street and he pees at as many mailboxes as he can but I've never had any complaints. I highly doubt they can smell the dog piss and I don't see how it stains it but I could be wrong about both.

I need to see a picture of what stained asphalt looks like. It must be horrible.

 

[belljr]

This is schtick right?

 

[belljr]

Have dog pee on their grass problem solved

 

[Chemical X]

you realize that technically the dog owns the street now?

 

[Hov34]

This is schtick right?

Everything on this board is schtick.

How are you going to stop a dog from taking a leak? That's ridiculous.

Take bags and pick up their crap - that's about the only rule that needs to be followed.

Edit: I'll add that I try to keep our dog from peeing on neighbor flowers around the mailbox or if they have a little yard flag by the street. Otherwise, it's fair game.

I get upset if my pit mix doesn't use the toilet.

We live in a residential area. It goes where it wants. We clean up anything solid.

I've found the real villain here. Seriously. I'd rub her face in it.

Dogs urinating in the street? That's horrible. Bunch of animals.

 

[NutterButter]

People should at least have the decency to carry a gallon jug of water to dilute the pee.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Need to feed that dog some asparagus.

 

[Das Boot]

It initially sounds like a dumb complaint, but I can see being aggravated by smelling dog piss in front of your house.

When I was a little kid I got in trouble because I was walking our dog and had to pee. Figured if the dog could pee on the big mailbox, so could I. My old man just happened to be driving home from work at that time. I still hear about this incident from time to time at family gatherings.

 

[belljr]

Rather in the street then making brown spots in the grass

 

[Spanky24]

WTH are they feeding that dog to make it's urine so potent you can smell it from the street?

This neighbor is a tool and I'd now train my dog to start going on his drive/sidewalk.

 

[Fennis]

I'm always jealous of my dog when he pees or craps outside.

I think there is only two rules when walking a dog and them doing their business- don't let them go into things like flowers and pick up their #2's. Other than that, have at it Fido!

It's not a matter of smell, dog p### (especially female's) kills grass. End up with brown spots. For me, I don't let them go right on a neighbors lawn. That's what cul-de-sacs are for. And the dog picks up the routine after a few times out anyway.

 

[Van Dyman]

Why wouldn't she should make her dog do 1 and 2 in her own yard first, then walk the neighborhood for exercise? Simple, no? Dogs learn the routine.

This is the exact opposite of what the OP said. The dog didnt pee in the grass and the smell was an issue.

Maybe she did and the dog peed twice.

 

[tommyboy]

Not my dog, but i do let my horse pisss in the streets

 

[Ignoramus]

One of my stupid dogs hates being in grass so she'll stop and pee or poop right in the middle of the sidewalk. So embarrassing. I wish she had the decency to do it in the street.

It is okay for a dog to pee on a street.

Comical.

Now, if I let my 100+ pound lab take his 2 giant steamers and leave it on your lawn you have a gripe. But I'm not that guy. Dog's gonna piss where a dog's gonna piss. Tell them to plant jasmine or something. Problem solved.

Is that where your username came from?

You got a lot of grass on your asphalt do ya?

If they didn't actually see it pee they would never notice it.

Or instead of a acting like a little ##### and spending 10 minutes typing out a letter, they could've hosed off the pee into the gutter.

Wow okay, so I guess my mind kind of made up a scenario as I read that because the thought of being outraged by p### on a sidewalk doesn't register in my mind.....wow, OP, your neighbor is a pus-say.
