Planning conditions can make it impossible for you to stick a proper fence up, but then people (who presumably have their own gardens if they have a dog) take their dogs out to wander and crap and pee all over your home and not their own.



I don't think I would go ballistic in the same way - but I do sympathise with her.

Nope I have a dog but no garden and so do many other people.

And peeing and crapping 'all over' someone else's home is slightly dramatic given that it is likely to be the edge of the fence rather than the actual home...

I really honestly don't understand the fuss over a dog peeing on some grass! It sounds like OP is a responsible dog owner whose dog peed on someone's grass and they over reacted! What harm does this even cause...

Depends on the outlook - a drunk relieving himself against your front door doesn't do any actual harm - but it's still revolting.

If enough dogs are found on the grass, if the tenant/owner has to regularly clean dog muck off the garden, off their shoes, off their wheelchair wheels or walking stick, then the next person along with a dog that is doing what dogs do can quite conceivably get the sharp side of the home owner's tongue. It's bad luck to be the one that is caught.


FWIW, if any of my cats (who are essentially confined to the back garden as they are all useless and cannot climb the eight foot walls) deposited something unpleasant in a neighbour's garden, I would be round to clean it up. The fox that does it in my garden, well, he's a wild animal. That's different. Stinkier, too.

Can see both sides of this one ..... living in a modern estate where we're not allowed to fence front gardens and being a dog owner.

Now Maisie - not too many issues but Ben ..... OMG don't know if it was just him but boy dogs wee everywhere and it's really hard to stop them - especially when nearly every other house in the street has a dog whose dogs widdle everywhere too!

At the end of the day, widdle will wash away.

BUT poop on the other hand is an entirely different matter ... and I am sick to death of finding dog poop in my front garden - esp as I'm in a bit with only 4 houses set back from the main street.

The most annoying thing is that I know whose dog does it (small dog = neighbours dog who is constantly getting through their gate and I discover all over the place incl in MY back garden) .... but I can never catch the wee so & so doing it and can't say anything until I do!

Thing is, someone's dog went in her front garden & she was going nuts ...... grrrrr

I too live on an estate where almost all of the gardens are open plan. When I had a dog I found it a bit of a pain because I didn't want him walking on the road side of me but I had to try and keep him off the gardens. Of course sometimes someone would have a small fence and he would !!!! his leg so some pee went on their grass.

It wouldn't bother me if a dog peed on my grass although if it kept doing it and killed the grass off I might feel differently. Last year I kept finding dog poo on the grass (must have been a large dog too!) and got really annoyed about that. It wasn't even on the edge of the grass but up near the house which is about 6ft from the front. I put a big sign up saying if I found out whose dog was messing on my grass I would be putting the poo through their letterbox. Strangely enough the dog stopped!

Then don't buy a property with communal grassed areas which aren't fenced? That's a bit like buying land with a footpath and then complaining about ramblers.

Ah if life was so easy!

Ah, if we could buy any property that we want and then do whatever we want with them!

Ah if we could predict the behaviour of others in the future!

And let's not bother expecting dog owners/ walkers to behave like considerate citizens and care about others.


(yes, I am being sarcastic!)

Haha fair point of course. But I meant a bit of dog pee. Dogs hardly seem to produce any pee after the first one, mine seems to do the subsequent ones just to lift his leg up.

Also, poo is very different, I'm not saying that it's ever acceptable for a dog to poo on someone's grass or on the street. I appreciate that accidents happen but I can't stand that some people don't bother to clean up.

I think dog wee and dog poo are completely different kettles of fish though. A male dog marking on his walk will probably leave about half a teaspoon of liquid, not exactly something to get worked up about!

People not picking up poo however really really irritates me, mainly because it makes us all look bad! There's a dog owner in my building who leaves piles of it right outside the main entrance, I picked it up myself for a bit but I got fed up and I've tipped off the dog warden now.

This are NOT people who live in the block. These are people for the surrounding area! So no they have no right to use that grass which is a private area!

There are 16 families in the block and none have dogs.

Can you look into fencing it off? Or getting 'Keep off the grass' signs? Wouldn't deter everyone but would put off the people who didn't realise it was private land.

Goodness, what would some folk do if a pigeon or other bird pooped on their lawn? Good grief!!

The fact cats are free to deposit waste in my garden whenever it takes their fancy, narks me. If a dog, that ought to be kept under control in public, did the same, I'd give its' owner a free bit of advice too.

Massive,,,ney, HUGE gripe of mine at the moment!!! :mad:

I'm SICK of cats, sh!tting in my garden, next to my front door, on the street near the curbs, ripping open bins and bin bags to get at what might be inside. And if i dare post my frustrations on Facebook, well, the cat owners come out in force!! "Cats never poo in public places" "Its birds that rip apart bin bags".

Aaaaaaaaargggggggggggh!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
