dog poop
Can we talk about all the inconsiderate dog walkers who turn a blind eye to their dogs pooping and peeing on our sidewalks and personal property? I would never let my dog dump and not clean it up and I would never let them lift their leg on your bikes. WHY do you allow your dogs to pee on strollers, bicycles, vespas and our plants? You are steps to the street and steps to the park...clean up after your pets and stop pretending you don't see them peeing on our personal property. If this continues I will pee all over your baby. :twisted:

Take a pill, dude. Nobody's going to piss on your beloved Vespa.

Actually, one thing that strikes me as incredibly inconsiderate - letting the dog pee on garbage/recycling bags on the curb. I've seen standing piss on top of bags waiting to be picked up - ugh, that's just wrong.
-
Throw a can of beans at them.
-
Ok Bikes, strollers and Vespas I get - but now you are complaining about dogs pissing on plants????? and GARBAGE BAGS???
Look my dogs sh*t in the street and I pick it up - everytime and I dont let them go on your 'side' of the sidewalk - plants or not but I'm NOT going to stop them from pissing on street side plants or garbage bags - and if you dont like it - I suggest you try and take your d!ck out and pee on them. But dont expect me or them to be 'friendly' after that. -
I used to let my dogs pee on garbage bags, but one time one of them did it just as the garbage truck pulled up, and the guy who had to pick up the bag was not happy about it. So now I try not to let them do that. Mostly they just pee on fire hydrants, as dogs should. I would never let them pee on a bike or a stroller, but why do you have so much "personal property" sitting out on the sidewalk anyway?

It's not that those garbage bags have some great value, it's that it's inconsiderate to the sanitation workers that have to pick them up - how is that hard to grasp? -

Actually very hard - considering that they are picking up dirty rat infested garbage either way. Next thing your going to tell me is to not put dog poop in the public garbage cans b/c the sanitation workers have to empty them. -

No, the next thing that I'm going to tell you is to learn the difference between "your" and "you're." Mission complete on that one, moving on...
SO, because there's garbage on the inside of the bags that they're picking up, you think that it's okay for your dog to spray urine on the outside of the bag, the part that they're actually handling, too? Just because you, in your infinite wisdom, have deemed their job to be disgusting, it's okay for you to make it more disgusting? Or is it just because you're lazy, and you let your dog walk you? Or maybe you're not lazy, maybe you're just incompetent, and you can't control your dog... whatever, either way...
Oh, is it okay that I smear feces on your keyboard? Because it's probably the most germ-ridden object in your house, anyway... -
Worst I've seen was a father and son walking their dog down 5th ave in broad daylight on a busy Sunday afternoon. The dog proceeded to pee right in the center of the sidedwalk, making a big puddle that ran in rivulets down the sidewalk. Disgusting - how hard would it have been to take 1 step to the sided and let the dog piss on the curb, rather than directly in the center of the sidedwalk where everyone has to walk right through it.

so... my boyfriend is the one who usually posts and does this whole internet board thing. I just got home and this was on the computer. And let me tell you this was funny. whoever the guy is that is getting all bent out of shape about this and wanting to pee on babies... awesome. i think that its great you said that. I also think its awesome how you corrected that guy for using your instead of you're or the other way... i don't remember.
Now, I agree that people should be more considerate. I agree that I could be more considerate with many things. Sometimes puppies won't pee where you want them to pee.
Now, Captain John Salty (my dog) is a great dog. While still a puppy; he's still learning. He just got relocated from Park Slope (a much more dog friendly place) to Crown Heights. There is alot more garbage bags on the street. My dog pees on them. oh well.
sometimes I am out of bags. Fuck. Sometimes the guys at the bodega---- they won't give me one. oh well.
Can't we all give each other a little break?
It happens. -

when it comes to you picking up after your dog? no way. bring bags. tie them to the leash so you don't forget. go back home and get some bags if you do forget.
If you can't deal with it, give your dog away now, while he's still young. -
Subject: good for all of you
I am so glad to hear, see, read that many of you are as disgusted with the dogs peeing and crapping on personal property as I am. I understand that a dog is a dog is a dog BUT you as the owner need to take the responsibility to not only pick up after your dogs but to walk them where they should be able to "go" in peace! I agree, even garbage bags. I guess some of you have never had to take the cover off your vespa or bike or stroller and touch the cover or locks that now are covered in smelly disgusting pee. I carry wet ones (cloths) to use after I've uncovered my bike.
To those who are being sarcastic , A: it's not that I have all that personal stuff on the street, all it takes is one thing and B: I would welcome the person who doubts that people let their dogs pee on my vespa to come clean it after they leave their mark.
I also agree that they shouldn't pee on the plants. Many home owners take time and money to plant nice flowers and you take the time to let your dog pee on them. The worst thing after this is all said and done is the odor that emminates forever.
Dog owners take heed...please take the time to walk your beautiful pets AWAY from other people's personal property and take the time to carry a few extra bags in the event that your beloved goes more than once... -

Ohhhh, my dog does this; I am really very sorry. The dog is weird -- he squats to pee like a girl dog, yet he wants to pee every 20 feet like a male dog. And -- he gives no warning when he's about to go -- just the sudden squat-and-pee. Many times I've had to jump out of the way to keep him from peeing on my shoes. And -- his bladder capacity is seemingly infinite.
There really is no excuse for not cleaning up dog poop. If you don't have a bag (for which there is also no good excuse), you can almost always find something on the street to do the scooping with -- pull a couple of advertising flyers off a lamppost or something. If not, go home, get a bag and come back and clean the poop. -

Just try leading your dog - Keep him next to you, don't let him walk in front of you, don't let him go wandering about, not without your permission and not early in the walk. If you're consistent and firm, it won't take long for him to get it in his head that you're in control of the walk, and that he can only stop and pee when it's okay with you.
My dog (girl) used to be exactly like yours - stopping and peeing without warning and all-too-frequently. Once everybody walking her was on-board with the program, it stopped pretty quickly. Not only does she only pee when we give her the okay, she takes much less time dilly-dallying, smelling for a place suitable - now it's about peeing and pooping, not about 'dominant dog' scent marking. -

You're - as in YOU'RE a prickly little putz who reads message boards for grammer rather than content, and fails to recongnize that the garbage bags and garbage cans with 'loose' garbage (as well as animal carcasas, etc..) that sanitation workers are contracted to pick up are inherently dirty and a little dog pee isnt going to make a particle of difference.

Your- as in; While I dont let my dogs piss on your Vespa, I am forced to wonder why you think you have the right to ILLEGALLY park (and COVER!) YOUR moped on our public sidewalk?
Do I have it now????? -
Probably as with every thread about children here, it's time to insert the caveat: most dogs and their owners are good, most owners seem to try to do the right thing, etc. (But every day on my block I step over the proof that some of them do not.) And as with kids, despite your best efforts, sometimes a dog's not going to do what you want him to. The problem--again just as with parents--is dog owners who believe they shouldn't even have to try to keep their dogs from leaving piss puddles in the middle of the sidewalk, peeing on garbage bags, plants, etc.
It's all about making the good faith effort. If you're on the subway with your 3-year-old kid and he swings his legs out and kicks me in the shin, I'm not going to get mad--that's what little kids do, because they're still learning motor control and personal boundaries and it's a cramped space. That is, I don't get mad if you say you're sorry and if I can tell that you're trying to keep the leg-swinging under control. If you're ignoring it, or act like it's cute or funny, then I get ticked off (at you, not the kid). Same deal with dogs--it's not fair to expect perfection, just consideration and honest effort. I think it's nice that you have a dog--they make the city a little more pleasant. But so do the plants people plant on the street, so show some decency and try to steer your dog away for relief.
But the poop is the worst. There used to be a guy on my old block who would take his dog off the leash, so he could run ahead and do his business on the sidewalk half a block ahead. Of course, the owner would just walk past the steaming pile, probably saying, "Oooh! Look what some other bad doggie did! I'm so lucky I have a good doggie who never makes poopies!"
As for running out of bags, that's no excuse. If you can keep supplied with dog food, you can make a point of keeping supplied with whatever you need to use to pick up the dog food on the return trip. -

Is that right? I'll file that for later. Quite brave behind your germ-ridden keyboard...friendlypitbull wrote: that sanitation workers are contracted to pick up are inherently dirty and a little dog pee isnt going to make a particle of difference.
I've seen the looks of disgust on the faces of the sanitation workers when they've come across pissed-on bags, as have other posters (see above) - it obviously DOES make one particle of difference to them.friendlypitbull wrote: Your- as in; While I dont let my dogs piss on your Vespa, I am forced to wonder why you think you have the right to ILLEGALLY park (and COVER!)

I don't have a moped, and I store my bike inside.

Exactly - shit happens, but be prepared and do as much as you can. -
I love how some people try to deflect from the content and focus on petty things. yah, english good, dog pee bad. get a life

ladies and gentlemens, brothers and sisters, can we please keep the conversation civil?

"Nice" does not mean kittens and rainbows. More like, "general level of civil decorum." It's OK to argue and disagree, and in fact we encourage it, but don't stoop to personal attacks, name calling, shouting wild generalizations, or other childish behavior. -
it's true though; i park my vespa in the street, where it belongs, and i have amazingly not once ever had it pooped or peed on.

t.m.i. :oops:
this morning while jogging with my dog she decided to plotz right in the middle of the road, 2nd time for her in the span of a half hour, having no extra bag i scooped it up in a coffee cup. you improvise O:)
the problem with preventing a dog from peeing on garbage bags is that once 1 dog has marked it. all other dogs will "naturally" want to mark it with their own pee. it's not always possible to catch your dog sneaking in a quick "mark" while you're walking. you try. but nobody is perfect -

I own two female mixed breeds (so they are not the Vespa-pissers, although I can't say I wouldn't:roll:) and although I am fairly militant about antidog behavior, I can empathize with the complaints posted here. The problem is that while many dog owners are careful, many more are not. Owning a dog is becoming the new smoking a cigarette. It's probably up to dog owners to take even greater pains to be considerate. ...Myself, I have cursed many an Unknown Inconsiderate Dog Owner in their wake: The grassy areas of the two small pocket-vest parks my girls use for a bathroom are absolutely impossible to walk through.
Bottom line: Bring bags and curb (as in, in the street at the curb) your dog. -

How do you manage this when there are cars parked bumper-to-bumper in the street next to the curb? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm curious. There is a grouchy woman on my block who yells, "Walk your dog in the street!," to everyone walking past her house with a dog, which seems a little unreasonable to me, given how narrow the streets are and how reckless some of the drivers are. -
Can we all agree on one other thing?
Sidewalk tree pits are not designated you-don't-have-to-pick-up-your-dogshit-here amnesty zones. -

Asking people to walk their dogs in the street is ridiculous. Asking them to curb their dogs to poop, or at least to try to, is not. Even in the bumper-to-bumper situation you describe, any block has hydrants that no one should be parked beside, right?
I'd settle for just bagging and picking up, though. -
I park my vespa on the street too and , covered and locked, dogs manage to find the front tire and the owner lets them lift their legs. I can tell if it's a small dog or large dog (yes I know too much information) BUT why did the owner go out of their way to let the dog pee on the FRONT tire, facing the street, away from all other posts, trees, garbage bags, etc.??? I know dogs mark their teriitory and others follow but can anyone suggest an outdoor odor killer (like they make for indoors to keep your pets off your furniture but stronger)?
I think some owners are deliberate and spiteful. and please don't tell me it's okay because this is brooklyn.... -

That is true, but unlike WiFi's dogs, mine will not usually urinate on command. I do try to steer them to appropriate objects like fire hydrants and lampposts, and usually that works. I don't let them pee on people's stoops, bikes, strollers, fences or flowers.

One of the rudest things I've ever seen was a woman helping her dog get into a fenced-in tree pit full of nice flowers so the dog could poop there. Unbelievable. -
ohmygod! I saw someone do that too! they actually lifted their dog and stood there while the dog walked all over the plants and did their business...all of it! and then just scooped the pet up and walked away!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so glad I am not alone in feeling what I do....I say let's bring in the quality of life people so the city can make more $!
Howdy, Stranger!
