Shared Garden complaint

Well a child can use a toilet, so not really the same, a dog is supposed to go outside. If the only difference is that a dog is not a wild animal, but a cat is, then surely it is a difference of semantics, both are pets, both pee, but one is often on a lead. If you had a cat on a lead and it pee'd (I have actually seen a cat on a lead :rotfl: ) would he still complain about the peeing?

I still think there must be some underlying confusion, would you really get into an argument over a dog peeing on a shared lawn?

I've spoken with his landlord last night, yes this guy would get into an argument over it. He is a hot head and from the sounds of likes to moan.


He asked me to put her on a lead around the garden which is fine but that will not stop her peeing!


I avoid taking her round the back garden because of this but just feel like this guy thinks he rules the roost

Well, just do not allow your dog to pee in a SHARED garden. Not sure what stops you taking her for a walk when she can pee without upsetting other people. I have a dog too, I take my dog for walks

What?


I take my dog for walks too, shall we pat ourselves on the back? I'm talking about a one off incident.


Do you never let your dog out in the garden?

One off incident? Then why do you says in your first post "I always pick up"?

I am not being awkward as I have a dog myself but why would you allow your dog to pee/poo whatever in communal/shared garden, seriously?

But then I could say why would allow your dog to toilet on public space? Woods, fields or on the pavement, even if u do clean it up? By that logic it's not nice for anyone to see, and what happens if you want to sit down in the field?

Because if it is a public space then it comes down to what the law allows.

However this thread was about a piece of shared land where the OP is one of four owners. He asked for views about how he should respond to one of the co-owners who objects his dog being allowed to use the area as a toilet.

The OP clearly dislikes the neighbour and considers they are being unreasonable.

My view, having seen similar situations, is that although it appears the neighbour is over-reacting to what is claimed to be a one off I could well understand them objecting if it happened regularly.

She very rarely does go in the front garden but when she does I pick it up. Are you honestly saying that your dog only ever goes to the toilet when you walk her? Not in the back garden when you let her out. I need training tips off you then.


Dogs will be dogs and with all the other wild animals that pass through out garden, they want to mark their territory.


Your posts suggest that I'm letting her out in the shared back garden constantly to relieve herself but that's not the case. As most others have understood.

Quite a mixed bag of responses in here, not what I expected.


I used to live in a house with a garden and the dog, but moved to this flat and the dog came with me. Guess this is just something to live with and i'll say goodbye to the garden lol

In a way, apart from the possible health hazard issues, this is a bit like four people working in a small office and one wanting the radio on. Of the other three one may be quite happy, one unhappy but not willing to make a fuss and one who will object strongly.

Another example might be one of the shared garden owners having regular garden parties to which only his friends (and not the other owners) were invited. Or even if they were invited, what if they would rather sit quietly in a deck chair and read a book?

Not easy situations.

Shared garden, shared drive, shared anything usually equates to trouble.
