ghworker2010 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 We moved to a new city recently and rented a building in which we are living. There are not many places to walk my dog apart from one street close by that has land for sale on one side and other areas as well. When I first started walking my boy there (twice a day) one old guy didn't look too happy. His wife was all smiling at me but the old man looked so serious. He has 3 dogs of his own which my dog is trying to get along with. The other day my dog was off the lead and walked into the huge vacant land opposite his house. He gave me this look of disgust. Admittedly it could be his land and if it is then Im in the wrong. We are away for a few days at the moment and the dog walker told us that the old guy says we should not let our dog walk on the area of land in question. He says we should pick up any poo with garbage bag. I hate being told what to do, but for the sake of our business I assume I have to let go of my ego and play the game so as to not make enemies with the locals. When we get back should I be taking the wife to have a friendly chat with this guy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HLover Posted May 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2018 Meh, clean up your dog's waste and ignore the old guy as he obviously wants nothing to do with you. 24 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted May 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2018 Why walk a dog off a leash? Is that legal in your country? Very irresponsible in my opinion. 16 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes quite right too.. you can use some of the many free plastic bags floating around as "pooper scooper gloves" and thus gain extra brownie points. 8 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sheryl Posted May 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2018 Count yourself lucky he has no objection to you walking your dog there as long as you clean up after him. When I first saw the title I thought the neighbor was objecting to your having a dog altogether. Instead it appears he just wants you to do what any responsible dog owner in a city or town should do. It is required by law in many countries.

holy cow cm Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Find out why the grimace. If his land then clean up the poo. Or is it his dogs are eating and laying in your do's poo and bringing back some foul breathe and crap encrusted fur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holy cow cm Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 So it is not stated it is his property or not. if not his property he needs to mind his own business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Anythingleft? Posted May 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2018 From the other point of view, if you had a piece of land and someone willingly let their dog roam around and mess on it without then cleaning it up would you be very happy about it?To post that you actually do this, and then feel persecuted because the land owner has a reaction seems a little screwy to me....Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yogi100 Posted May 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2018 Perhaps the old chap does not like falangs nor their dogs, it's his country and he's entitled to his opinions regarding those whose presence he did not ask for. Be careful he does not poison your dog which he probably will if it's a barker and few would blame him. It won't be the first hound that's been silenced in such a way. There was a case in the UK that hit the press about a persistently barking dog that was fed poisoned meat by a neighbour. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChouDoufu Posted May 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2018 look at it this way..... you are enjoying your retired life in a quiet town, but then some foreigner moves in and proceeds to let his dog run loose and crap in the vacant land directly across from your house, and doesn't show the common decency to clean up afterward. brings back memories of the old b'nai brith commercials on saturday morning during cartoon time....12-yo kid speaking...."let me tell you about those others - they're rude and smelly and they throw trash everywhere, and then they try to be your friend. just ask my dad, he knows." 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jimn Posted May 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2018 OMG. You are exactly the type of dog owner that gives us a bad name. I know that there are loads of strays around but never let your dog off the lead in a town area. Maybe on a quiet beach or park area but never in a town. Secondly your post indicates that you were disgusted you had to pick up the dog mess. That should be obvious mate. Do it everytime everywhere. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevemercer Posted May 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2018 What are all these unbelievable responses!!! I've never seen any one walk a dog with a lease in Thailand and I've never seen anyone pick up dog poo. If someone else's dog walks onto our land then we have to scare it off and/or pick up the poo. Why should a farang have to do any differently? To the OP, just keep walking your dog and ignore the old man. The exception would be if he doesn't let his 3 dogs run around (e.g. they are well behaved/controlled) in which case you should use a lead just when walking past his house 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ54 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 We have a few dogs in the village one day the guys spraying for mosquitoes came by and while in our yard went across and stood under a tree where most of been the boss was standing. He spoke some English and had a nice conversation. He said that brown dog of yours is bad and got in my chickens so I shot and killed him. The dog dog he was taking about may have been crazy stalking anything that moves. Feel sorry for the dog but he brought on his own fate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Your dog, your poo, you clean.....simple ! As for the old thai grouch, probably he has nothing against dogs, but maybe plainly does not like farangs ? Ignore the chap and be a responsabile owner and don't give him the slightest excuse to pick on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
