Dogs owners are ruining dogs for everyone

I’m sorry, I love dogs, but the dog owners here are the absolute worst.

I just got yelled at and told that I’m the asshole because I expressed frustration with a gentleman who let his dogs piss all over my front steps.

It constantly It smells like piss and I don’t even own a dog. I don’t come to your home and piss all over your front steps. Why would you do that to someone else’s home?

There’s dog shit left all over the place on the sidewalk an surrounding area in front of my house (I rent so don’t come for me) despite there being dog bags and a trash can across the street (small residential street not to busy btw). I even have signs that ask people to pic up after their dogs because it’s such an issue.

Like, come on yall… Pretty please, with sugar on top, be a good community member. Pick up after your dog. Be mindful of where you let them urinate (I recommend low traffic areas that aren’t entrances, maybe a park). Keep them leashed. Get them training. And if you can’t afford a home with a yard (I get it, shit is crazy expensive) maybe having two large dogs that you can’t clean up after isn’t actually good dog stewardship.

I choose to not have a dog because it’s a massive responsibility. Dogs deserve a place to run around and call their own. They deserve to not be crammed into a tiny apartment and left at home all day. They need training so they can feel comfortable in and around people (especially children). Please don’t make your dog everyone else’s problem.

I want you to be able to have a great life with a great companion, but please don’t be a menace to your neighbors. We all have to live here together.
