Americans - what's the etiquette for walking a dog in a residential neighborhood? Obviously the dog will go #1 and #2 on various lawns (of course you pick up the latter) - do homeowners mind this?
I've seen a few properties with signs asking dog owners to keep their pets off the grounds. I don't really understand why though. #1 seeps right into the ground and #2 gets bagged and carried away, so what's the issue? The only explanation I've really been able to come across is that #1 is acidic and can create spots on the lawn but wild animals are going to do that anyways - we have a lot of deer and coyotes in the area and obviously they do their business wherever they feel like.
At least those houses are asking politely but what about the houses that have no signage?
