it is not the dogs fault, they are a product of their owners neglect and a lack of guidence and training.
most have no clue what they are in for when they buy that cute little puppy.
I own a beautiful female boxer, and I only let her outside to go and if Ileave her out it is because it is a nice day and she wants to be out, other than that she wants to be inside with the rest of the family.
I let her out before going on walks to avoid her using some one else's yard, and I try to keep her on the park strip so that she is not walking on neighbors flower beds.
I dislike dogs running loose since one of my neighbors is a total hipocrit (sp) and truly has pissed me off to no end.
My dog (9 months old) still is in training and took off out the front door to go play with one of my kids, well boxers love to run and generally love people and beg to be pet by anyone.
So the dog runs over to the neighbor bows her head folds up into the typical kidney bean position as all boxers do and my daughter (13) is chacing after the dog when the guy opens up his mouth "keep your dog out of my yard I am tired of it shitting on my lawn", says this to my 13 yr old daughter.
I did not find out about this until about a week later, wife has begged me not to go and talk to him, since she knows how pissed off I am about this.
Ok so were is the hipocracy (sp) in this?, the son of a beocth let's his dog out the front door every time he lets it out, never mind that he has a fenced off back yard, let's it out, let's it run freely to defecate on everyone else's lawns, yet tells my kid this. I have had my dog now for 7 month's in that time the dog has hit pavement running 3 times with at least one of the family members in tow.
Other than that the dog is always on a leash, or put out back to do her business on her cable, never once has she defecated in this mans yard, and now everytime I see his snooty aarse I want to slam him in the face.
Sorry to hear you have dogs loose around you JK as your street is pretty busy and dangerous for an animal running loose.
