Why are you arguing with him about this? It's his dog and a public park. Do your kids play there? What's the issue? 1
ShyViolet Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 I'm completely confused by this question. What's the issue? 1
Author Confused01 Posted June 4, 2021 Author Posted June 4, 2021 Sorry I forgot to mention he doesn’t pick up his dogs mess, he allows it to do it’s business in the long grass bit it’s still a public area.
Gaeta Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 I don't understand the issue but I have this to say. He should not walk his dog in high grass, it's filled with ticks and it's dangerous for both of them. 1

mark clemson Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 No, unless this is a (non-nature preserve) wilderness area or something he should be cleaning up the poop, like all the other dog owners have to. So, not acceptable, very inconsiderate, and in fact a mild threat to public health.
lana-banana Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) As someone who lives in a city: people who don't pick up after their dogs are the absolute worst. It's not just gross and messy, it's a health hazard, it ruins plants, it attracts rats. Yes, you are right to be bothered, it's wildly inconsiderate. Edited June 5, 2021 by lana-banana 2

It’s an area of grass behind houses where people walk through admittedly I don’t think they walk through the long grass areas to the side but I still think it’s wrong to leave it there. 1

People play and eat and sleep in parks; leaving dog waste is a hazard for everybody. It's just so inconsiderate. If you can't be bothered to clean up after a pet then don't have a pet.

Thankyou that’s exactly what I think, but he says because it’s in long grass it doesn’t matter and we argue about it, he says nobody walks on that but.
central Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 IMO, his behavior is unacceptable. Does this attitude extend to other things and people? Is there a city ordnance re: this? What would the city do if he's caught - fine him? Anyway, this sounds like a battle you won't win because he's too selfish, so let it go. You could also let him go, report him, record him and report him, or just ignore this issue and continue on.
Alpacalia Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 I came face first to dog excrement when I was exercising in the park the other day. It was fresh and wet too. He can bring those little dog waste bags with him and some have holders that clip onto the leash too. 2

I am a dog owner and of course believe strongly in the owner picking up after, but if this is on principle as long as it gets picked up by one of you then the duty to the community has been satisifed.

Yes he would be fined, he’s very stubborn and if we argue he won’t let it go if I’m at his house and we argue he tells me to go home
basil67 Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) If he tells you to go home when there's an argument, you need to leave and not return. (And make sure to take any things you have at his place!) Edited June 5, 2021 by basil67
