Do you allow your dog to pee on people's cars?

[corgif]

I do not, but I am amazed at how many people don’t think this is rude. I realize sometimes our dogs can pull a fast one and accidents happen, but for someone to actually stand there clueless watching as their dog urinates profusely on someone else’s car - wow. :no: This is not something I’ve just seen one time or with kids walking a dog. I’m talking about adults who should know better.

I am a dog owner with a male dog who, if he had his way, would leave his p-mail on anything and everything. He even likes to smell his own pee, but that’s a subject for a different thread. He’s been trained not to pee on anything and everything, especially other people’s cars, flowers, shrubbery, public park benches, etc. He still gets ample opportunity to leave his scent, just not on stuff that I think would bother someone. Am I the oddball here?

Not if I can help it but he has tried before. I certainly would pull him away if he started to go, I wouldn’t let him just empty his bladder on someone’s car.

People are jerks, though. I’ve seen handlers at dog shows deliberately bring their dogs to garbage cans and pillars at INDOOR SHOWS to let them urinate, rather than take them outside. :no:

Do not let my male do this, but my female marks worse than he does. Luckily, she’s a Corgi and can’t aim high

[Sswor]

No but… car tires roll through a lot worse then a little dog urine. Not sure what the big deal really is. But no, I don’t allow it.

Even at outdoor shows, the people who let their dog urinate on what is obvious a temporary sign that you know someone will have to walk along and pick up at the end of the dog show make me shake my head.
There are lots of things and places to let your dog go with out doing it on something you know another person is going to have to handle later that day.

No! My dog is always trying for my parents huge flower pots too- nope. Rocks & trees at the park? Ok

Yes, I show too, and the stuff some handlers let their dogs pee on rises to an entirely new level of rudeness (like other people’s chairs, coolers, crates, etc.) - even when the people are RIGHT THERE. I’ve seen them even let their dog pee on someone’s leg! :eek: They don’t apologize or attempt to direct the dog elsewhere, much less clean it up.

It’s just the principle of it - respect for someone else’s property, or even public property, like a park bench, where no one wants to sit and smell urine.

Actually dog urine is very damaging to chrome and some other finishes on the wheels. Not cheap nor easy to repair/replace.

And like someone else said, it’s respect. I don’t let my dogs pee on my tires so why would I let them pee on someone else’s?

I’ve seen a lot of accidents with distracted handlers, and I can forgive most of them (of course they should apologize and clean it up!) but I was floored when I saw handlers bring small dogs to a pillar in a building for the purpose of peeing before their ring time. I think the time I noticed it the most was on a rainy day. Not sure if the handlers or the dogs didn’t want to get wet. :no:

In general, I try not to let my dog pee on anything “temporary” or anyone…although I will admit to allowing him to pee on a traffic cone at a very hot outdoor show where there was nothing better for miles to lift his leg on (no trees, no fence posts, etc.). Not really a good excuse but it was the best I could do at the time.

Wow. The big deal is I don’t want to bring my car into my garage on a 90 degree day and have dog piss baking in there. Just plain rude.

Plus, one dog marks it and they all want to.

[BUSY]

No !

[ElisLove]

I can’t say that this has ever been an issue for me. Cars aren’t really what my dogs go for to pee on.

So right. I have female dogs, so my dogs don’t pee on car tires, but geez…car tires go through everything! That’s why my dogs have always come out to sniff my tires every time I come home, there is all kinds of tasty ugly/smelly on them.

[GoodTimes]

I have a female, but regardless it’s a great big NO!
I don’t pee in pools, I don’t let my drunk friends pee in public, I don’t let my dog pee on someone else’s lawn, I don’t let my horse pee in the good footing in the arena. See a trend?

It’s disrespectful to urinate or defecate on someone else’s property, and like someone else posted urine can be very damaging. You can’t guarantee your dog is just hitting the rubber and not the rims or the car itself.

[sprite]

No. No Car tires, no trees or grass in the yard (as opposed to the boulevard between sidewalk and street), no flowers in either corner of yard or boulevard, or mailboxes if there’s something planted around it.

How about this…do you let your dog poop in the middle of the sidewalk and not pick it up? This drives me nuts.

[SarahandSam]

No. An accident if I wasn’t looking is one thing, but no. Especially since we do nosework and my dogs have to do vehicle searches, sans peeing.

I had a booth set up for my portraits at a dog expo once and a woman watched, in absolute indifference, her dog peeing on my white tablecloth/table as I yelled at him.

Eesh! I didn’t know that. I never allowed it before but now I’ll be particularly mindful.

The things you learn hanging around with collector car guys growing up lol.

As we all know, accidents happen but preventing it from happening when possible just shows courtesy. If I would be embarrassed if my husband peed on it I don’t let my dog pee on it. :winkgrin:

I own a grooming salon and people let their dogs lift their legs in the shop (some quickly pull their dogs away and apologize and want to clean it up, others just stand there going ‘oh dear’ and walk away once their dog is done) and on my windows/glass door at the front of my salon
