It's your job to control your dog!
My dog manages not to piss and crap everywhere!

I hope you didn't mean that to read as harsh as it does with all those exclamation marks and no emoticons

I live in a housing estate.....I'm supposed to take my dog for a walk and not let him pee anywhere Everywhere is someone's fence , gate, hedge or tree for miles and miles.....even around the park all the fences hedges and gates are someone's back garden

There are no laws against dogs peeing anywhere, except children's playgrounds because of leptospirosis and so long as you clean up the poop they can poop pretty much anywhere.

I'm sorry it offends you so much that I have no control over my dogs bladder and bowel movements. Short of tying a knot in his penis & shoving a cork up his ass I don't see how I can stop him urinating and defecating, seeing as it's a natural bodily function. He's an animal not a blinking robot! :001_rolleyes:

I'm shocked that you as a dog owner yourself could be so intolerant of a dog's normal bodily functions...if dog owners are like you then we have no hope against the non dog owning community. Before we know it we'll have to walk around with dogs wearing nappies

 

Another idiot with no control over their animal. Train the thing its not easy with some but it is achievable if you try🙄🙄😏

No I didn't mean it in a harsh way, I was just a little shocked!

I live in a housing estate too, Pippa goes on the public grass when she needs to go, there is no need to go on someones property!
I don't mind lamposts as they arn't peoples property.

I am not intolerant in anyway.

 

So if a bloke stood at ya gate and peed up it , that would be okay cos he had to go?:001_rolleyes:

That's a completely different scenario & don't twist my words please

Human beings understand (and in fact are the ones who made up) the social code we live by. But I don't agree with getting fined for urinating in public..I find it ridiculous but that's a different argument

Dogs and other animals have no concept of the rules of human society so shouldn't have to abide by them IMHO

I was also wondering how all the people who are so horrified by it and would never let their dog pee on someone's gate actually go about stopping them?
I'm lucky in that I don't have to walk my dogs along the street at all, they are off lead in the countryside so pee where the hell they like! Branston pee's/scent marks about every 5 minutes, I'd hate to think how I would stop him from doing this!

I am totally against people allowing there dogs onto your property and wouldn't be impressed if a dog pooped or squatted on my front lawn, but for a male dog to cock his leg up the fence? I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

In fact I would be more bothered if the owner was trying to drag the dog away mid pee or scolding them for going. How is he supposed to know the difference between a tree he's allowed to pee up and a fence he's not? By telling him off is only going to confuse him and surely goes against the whole 'not reprimanding your puppy for peeing where you don't want him to when house training' How is that different?

 

I try not to let Jet pee on gateposts, but when a dogs gotta go etc.
I will stop him from going near cars if I think he's going to pee.
The rain will wash it away from the gate, so no harm done. But I'm not sure if it'd harm cars, so I keep him away.
I don't allow him to go inside gates or on any ones garden. That is showing lack of respect!

Dogs when out have to abide by a lot of rules made by humans - walking on a lead, wear identity tag, be under control etc etc...

Now I live in a place where there are a lot of dogs, if every dog was to pee up my gate I would have a river of dog wee! Not nice - and it is perfectly easy to show your dog where they can and cannot pee - and they really don't mind.

Anyhow we will have to agree to disagree - you dont mind dogs peeing up your property and you are okay with yours doing it on other peeps property!

I personally do not like it and think it is a bit yucky!

But it is not the end of the world and no one has died! :mellow:

 

I am torn about this as at the end of the day a dog will wee it will wee on lamp posts how will the dog know oh this is a gate. Also did the dog actually wee on your gate or just scent mark? I am only saying this as Ziggy has a habit of cocking his leg (on walks) alot and nothing but one dribble comes out.

Alfie does it too. Marks over where others really have a pee. Hed never go to the toilet in someones garden and never sets foot on anyone elses ever but i dont know what you do once they start to pee.

A wall or gate to me causes no harm and i dont mind when dogs do it to my gate as tbh you are stepping in it all over the pavement anyway.

 

I try not to let Oscar and Scrappy pee on the entrances of people's gates or their little front walls, but slow down at lamp posts on purpose to encourage them to stop, sniff and pee...doesn't always work.

And Scrappy in particular will just decide to stop and go very suddenly, using his body weight against me to stop us. He could be walking along with me at a good pace and go from his fast walk to a poop-squat in a fraction of a second, really can't help it. Oscar holds his poops for the field ;D

Is that true? Is that just for where people can see you? Are we safe in bushes?

Multi storey car parks always stink of pee.

 

I dont think Id be that bothered TBH. I havent really thought about wether I 'let' Adam pee up peoples gates but then I dont think he really does it! Dogs dont often stop in gateways unless its a massive stately home style gate....arent they more likely to want to pee on the corners of hedges and walls??
Thats def the case round my way judging by how long the dogs spend sniffing on corners!
Id be annoyed if someone let their dog pee on my property though....but then again my front door opens onto the street so the dog would be peeing on my front door!

 

I try not to let mine pee on other peoples property but when every bugger elses dog has peed there I think I'm fighting a losing battle. For the most part I manage to prevent it but when it does happen I don't see it as a big deal.

Wouldn't bother me a dog peeing up my garden wall or fence but there are a lot of houses near my parents that open directly onto the street and people think nothing of letting their dogs pee up the front doors! Open the door at the wrong time and you're peed on. Same with the benches opposite my flat, people just let their dogs pee up them which isn't acceptable imo.

 

There's a woman who walks her dog late at night and every single night he pees on our garden and sometimes on my car

Garden I don't mind so much as it's the tree and probably loads of dogs do but I don't see them.

But I think peeing on my car is unacceptable (I've just had it a few weeks and it's still sparkling clean so I get quite miffed ) but then she doesn't have her dog on a lead so I don't expect any better tbh

It can be hard to stop them though! One little ****er peed up my front door the other day!!
It was my own fault though.....I spent too long faffing about with my keys after our walk and Adam clearly felt he needed to make a point!LOL

 

I really do not understand why people allow this to happen, and when I moved to my present property I asked the dog owners where they lived so my dogs could go and do the same to their property.

Funny, how they were not keen for me to reciprocate.

When my dogs are on the lead, they do not empty themselves until and unless I tell them to.

Males are just marking, there is no physiological need for them to empty themselves unless you, as an owner, have not proved an alternative opportunity to do so.

When I exercise my dogs it is their their body, not their bladder or bowels I want moving.

Anyone who cannot or will not control where and when their dogs eliminate should only be in charge of a goldfish.

I also wonder if such ignorant owners would consider it acceptable for male to unzip his flies and urinate in the same way?

These owners may like their front garden smelling like a public urinal, I do not, strangely.

 

I couldn't care less if a dog had a wee up my fence/gate/hedge so long as it was on the outside and the owners hadn't brought them in to do it

my dog squats but yes there have been plenty of times she has decided to squat and pee outside someones gate or garden on the public path, I wouldn't let her be wandering in there garden ofc. I never even thought that it would be a problem I can't control when she is going to go

 

Well I can control where my dogs urinate and defecate, they do it on command.

It is very simple.

Even blind people can manage this with their dogs..........

Yeah it can be hard to stop it, especially if you have to walk past them to get anywhere suitable, but if my dog goes to pee up someones front door I literally drag him away, some people just stand there and wait for the dog to finish then walk off. Just seems out of order to me.

 

I've never even thought about it offending people before , I must just be really unhygienic Murphy scentmarks every few minutes , I don't let him do it on gardens or cars but he does do it to fences etc.

 

I wouldn't let Dino do it on someone's closed gate but if he urinates on the corner post I've never thought about people being offended to be honest. Sorry to all the people I've offended over the years but my wee dog used to get dragged when he pee'd or poo'd so he was terrified when he would do it in front of me. He ended up with muscle damage to the back of his neck and collapsing trachea. As a result I used to give him loads or praise and reward him when he would do it. I would never dream of letting him enter someone's driveway or garden and am shocked at anyone allowing their dog to pee up against someone's door. He is also not allowed to pee up against shops or shop sighs.

 

I am totally against people allowing there dogs onto your property and wouldn't be impressed if a dog pooped or squatted on my front lawn, but for a male dog to cock his leg up the fence? I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Couldn't have put it better myself!

Bit harsh...

My intact male dog has been scent marking for 10yrs so I must be an irresponsible owner. My bitch was slow to pick up toilet training after living in a kennel for 7 years so am I not worthy to keep her?
Perhaps parents with bedwetting children shouldn't have kids

For the record we've always discouraged scent marking on pavements and Scooter seldom pees up gates and fences but sometimes he can't resist and I'm not quick enough! Little sod did mark my bike last week so maybe I should admit defeat and rehome him... not.

And no, I wouldn't care if a dog scent-marked the fence in passing.

 

Well it is a shame we all cant be as great and responsible owners as smokeybear!

My dogs have always toileted when they need to. I cant go on command so why would they?

I have never thought the mark of a 'responsible' owner being one where they tell their dogs where they can do their stuff.

I also do not care if dogs go against my gate, there are much bigger evils in the world.

 

I wouldn't like it. I dont let mine pee in the street or poo- its for off lead time.

 

I have never noticed any dogs doing it on my gate or anything.
As someone else has already said, I don't even let Molly walk on their property (grass, drive etc) let alone wee on their property.
