Do you let your dogs wander into the grass of other peoples' yards or make sure they stay strictly on the sidewalk? My dogs like to stop and sniff around the grass a little bit, but I never know if I should let them!

Whatever you do, please don't be one of those dog owners who A) don't pick up their dog's shit and just leave it there on the sidewalk and B) let
the leash extend all the way out, so that your dog is a good 19 feet away from you and passersby have to step over the leash to get past!

I anticipate this being a long thread. I let him walk into other yards because I clean up after him. You should always pick up after your dog.

I do neither of those things.
I lock the leash before they get too far from me, and the leash actually has blue bags to pick up the shit with.

I don't like when owners let their dog sniff your leg when you pass by. I love dogs, but please keep your strange dog away from me. I also don't like
when owners let their two stranger dogs get all up in each other's faces. But her, it's not my dog

Oh retractable leashes are so bad.

I don't have a dog but I don't see a big deal with allowing the dog to stop at someone's lawn, as long as you clean up if it poos.

No I don't let him go in other people's yards. He can sniff all he wants in the public areas but he stays out of private properties.
