How many dogs should the city allow you to have in the Off Leash Area? Take the survey.

The city is looking at painting all dog owners and walkers with the same brush. In typical government problem solving fashion they want to make a blanket rule that applies to all but will not solve any problems.
The misbehavior of some owners is causing grief for the rest of us. I say target the people who are breaking the existing rules we have. Such as those who don’t pick up or who can’t control their pets.
Problems with large packs listed in the survey are:
Dog poop is not picked up
Dog poop bags are not disposed of in garbage cans
Dogs are not kept under control
Creates “pack mentality” among the dogs
Dogs become aggressive
The real problem is that those issues above are more common among people who have 1 or 2 dogs of their own. I see them everyday.
Dog’s are out of their sight, out of control and not being cleaned up after. These owners should get a ticket. Leave the rest of us alone.
