(1,706 posts)People with yards and fences maybe (it may not be real fair to dogs to be locked in) but not in apartments where they use someone else's property to take a dump and pee. I have been chased more times than I can count by dogs (while riding my bicycle) that are just let out to run the neighborhood or from owners with broke down fences. I once saw my neighbors dogs (3) barking and circling the 90 something year old women in the next block that likes to go for walks around the neighborhood. She was terrified.
Restaurants around here where I now live have outdoor seating and encourage dogs with water bowls. This area is almost all apartment. I understand that a lot of these dogs spend the day in a crate while their owners are at work because they destroy everything.
