We have a neighbor that has a dog and she would wake us up at night barking and had to go next door and ask them to do something about and they did then this dog got out during the day and she didn't like my husband and she would try to attack him and I told her if you don't do something and she bites him you will be in deep trouble and haven't seen the dog since.

One option is to carry water in a spray bottle and spray the area where the dog urinated.

This is a tough one. On the one hand, dogs need to go to the bathroom just like everyone else. On the other hand, a dog pile is unsightly and unsanitary, but easily manageable. I think the bigger challenge is what to do about the urine. It's not easy to clean up, and it does kill grass. Someone should invent urine-resistant grass!

As someone who grew up in NYC, we were taught that "curb your dog" meant to have your dog go as close to the curb as possible. Even with bags, there are defecation residuals on sidewalks and sometimes it's smack in the middle of it. I think the poster was being as vigilant as possible, but others who let their dog go "wherever" have tainted some perceptions. I would ignore the guy and just continue to practice good neighbor doggie walking.
