If it is the person’s private property then no one should be walking their dog on his lawn anyway. I don’t see him/her as a dog hater, just someone who doesn’t want dogs going potty on his lawn. Nothing shameful in that at all.

I agree that the person that put that sign up was doing it because he/she hates dogs. That is so shameful!

I just posted on the Rascodog Blog (http://rascodog.wordpress.com) about this. Not picking up after your dog is so easy, and yet people are lazy and don’t want to do it. Then it becomes a big issue within the community and even responsible dog owners and professional dog walkers get penalized. It’s an interesting tactic for this guy if he’s just trying to keep dog off his lawn, but I don’t think it will have long term success. There will always be someone who doesn’t care and let’s their dog do it anyway.

I own a pet care/ dog walking business. I clean up after the dogs I walk. I have had property owners yell at me because of dog waste left in the yard by someone else. Everyone who can’t clean up after thier pet makes it bad for all of us that do! If they don’t want you on the property or in front businesses, even if it is public property, just do it.

I see signs like this when people use cocoa mulch in their yards.

How long that sign stays there may make its purpose obvious–let us know if it is still up a few weeks from now!

i work at a vet clinic that is in a small shopping plaza. if we walk the dogs near this one certain business, a man comes out and says he sprayed weed killer there. he didn’t, he just doesn’t want us to walk dogs there, even though we pick up after them. funny thing is, it’s where the city meters are, so it’s not even private property! he starts saying he’ll call the cops and we tell him to go ahead, but he’s just full of hot air. it’s kind of funny, but now i wonder if he won’t get smart enough….or stupid, if you will, to actually put something on the grass to harm the animals as a sort of retaliation. hmmm…i might have to bring this up to my coworkers.

In ohio it is the law any time you treat your lawn you must post signage for 24 hours after treatment with chemicals. Its possible that is the case there as well?
