Where's the options that the home owner over reacted but he's still in the right because its his lawn?

If you're not capable of using a toilet, sure, knock yourself out.

+1

exactly. there are obvious differences, but if OP's wife looked outside one night and a guy had his back turned peeing on their tree, would that be okay seeing how urine is so harmless? you'd go outside on some 'gtfo', right?

i'm no hater of dogs, but if i don't want my lawn pissed on by someone's dog, that dog shouldn't be allowed to piss on my lawn.

in the OP, if someone yelled at your wife for your dog pissing in the yard, she should apologize and then try to make sure she pulls the dog past that yard the next time they're on a walk.

can I piss in your gas tank every day? doubt you'd be able to tell 5 sec after I'm done.

Your wife probably didn't hear the times he asked nicely because the headsets were too loud. Your dog is your responsibility not every home owner on the block. If they don't want your dog messing with their property that's their perogative, I'm surprised at all the responses implying your right to walk your dog supersedes a property owner's right to control their property.

Going through something similar, and agree with both of these. Some people don't know how to ask for things except by going from zero to conflict in one exchange.

Keep the dog off their lawn; there are probably enough dogs in the neighbourhood that they're still going to be peed on, but it won't be your fault.

Hello.

How about you just don't do it even if the request seems a little over the top to some people?

please tell me how you make a dog not pee, Id love to know

lol, you dont tell that guy to gtfo because the urine is ruining your yard.

Shoot the dog.

How could you possibly be right in this situation?

The owner was definitely not out of line when he said "Will you PLEASE not do that again?!" Even if he said it rudely it was still in response to YOUR dog pissing in HIS yard. That gives him the right to be mildly rude to your wife since your wife was being mildly rude to him by letting your dog piss in his yard. Personally I wouldn't care if it was my yard but it's his yard and some people don't like it when owners let their dogs piss in their yard. His anger was understandable to say the least.

Since you bring the #2 bag with you on walks I'm assuming you're a decent human being who tries to do the right thing. So in the future as a decent human being you should try to keep your dog from pissing in that guys yard.

The dog is marking, not peeing. Usually people walk their dogs on leashes. It's pretty easy to keep a 25 lb dog on a leash from marking. OP and his wife just don't give a crap about that and you don't either.

For me it depends on the neighbors lawn. If he has some gorgeous yard and your dog is female than the urine kills the grass. I have two dogs and I think the owner is overeacting.
He/she could have handled it better and asked you nicely and said my yard is my pride and joy.

I trained my dog to not go to the bathroom outside of my back yard. I don't even bring a ****bag for him when we go places anymore.

I have a 55 pound dog and I can keep her from going on other people's lawns. If you don't have that much control - especially only for the length of a single person's lawn - you probably shouldn't have the dog out in public.

Of course, you do have this control. You just don't care so you don't try.

Male dogs can kill grass too.

Yeah, there are definitely similarities. Mostly the blanket assumption that everyone feels children and dogs are a net positive, so let's all chip in and make little sacrifices for them! I personally waver on this point, b/c although I think that that attitude is selfish, entitled and annoying, I also think there's something supremely nitty and turd-like about people who pitch fits about this kind of thing. I would not personally have an issue with a dog pissing in my yard (**** yards anyway, btw, one of the worst accouterments of class-conscious bs we ever borrowed from England, but that's another thread).

That said, objectively, if someone wants to be a nit about this kind of thing, it's certainly within their rights. Keep the dog off his lawn in the future, I guess.

I thought it was just the females My bad

LOL. Nice naive, obliviousness tact Alobar!

Let the dog pee – just not on people's lawns, private property, etc. Let the dog pee on a fire hydrant, street sign, etc.

Damn dog should be on a ****ing leash anyway and the damn owner should be controlling the damn dog.

Don't really understand why dog owners think the world is a toilet. You're being mildly rude by letting your dog run around and urinate on other peoples property. How can you think the homeowner is in the wrong? YOUR dog pissed on HIS property. Simple ****ing situation, don't do it anymore.

OMG this.

But, like, that's your opinion man. For some people it is a big deal. You're simply doing what you want and rationalizing why you shouldn't be concerned about how other people feel.

If you don't have control over your animal you shouldn't be allowed to keep it. Yes, that does include where it makes a mess.

If it's impossible for you to walk your dog without having it piss on another persons property then the problem is yours, not theirs.

Surprised how many People ITT are against dogs pissing on their lawn.

Will have to increase my dog ownership in the future to troll my neighbors.

But seriously why do people care at all in either direction, i have never noticed any damage to my yard from dogs who walk by. Do you people all have 5ft stretches of yard next to your sidewalk that are visibly different from the rest of your yard because of Dog piss or is it simply a matter of principle?

People should find more important things to care about

Also, the norm in society seems to be dogs have piss rights

If a home owner seriously doesn't want dogs on her lawn she should post a sign which would solve the issue for 99% of dog owners im sure
