Admittedly, my negative experiences are with people who walk dogs in
my
neighborhood. Even the so-called "good dog owners" who clean up after
their
dogs are idiots. Why do I say that? Look at the brief conversation
below
and
tell me what's wrong with it. Scenario: Dog, on leash, taking a leak
at
the
perimeter of a flower bed that is two feet from the street.

Me: Excuse me, would you please NOT let your dog use my property as a
toilet
in the future?
Dog criminal: Why?


That's it. What's wrong with the conversation?


Maybe you should move where there is nothing but you. That way, you
can determine every situation with great vigor.


Need help figuring out what's wrong with the conversation? He

You hear an odd noise outside your front door. You look out the window
and
see someone spray painting the door. You ask him to stop. He asks "Why?"

What's wrong with the conversation?


I didn't question the conversation. I said if you don't want people
walking dogs where you live you can do one of two things;

Move to the country on huge property where people don't walk dogs.
Let it go.


You are illustrating the multifaceted problem for me. Thank you.

Facet 1: Some dog owners think everyone is supposed to love their dog.
That is incorrect.
Facet 2: Some dog owners don't understand the concept of private
property. If I tell you not to do something on my land, you have no legal
leg to stand on by refusing to obey.


That's just an inconsiderate and rude person. Not the dogs fault. Just
because a person has a dog doesn't mean they become inconsiderate and
rude.

Actually, many of them suffer from coprophilia. They walk around with little
bags of dog poop, pretending they're going to throw it away when they get
home. Coprophilia is treatable with psychiatric help, but first, they have
face the fact that they have a real problem.
