I really doubt a dog is going to shut down on using their nose..their entire world is pretty much defined by scent. They use their noses far more than they do their eyes. |
I agree with Murreydobes, people should keep their dogs off of other's property. I live in a semi-rural neighborhood and I'm always shocked at the few who either let their dogs run or don't pick up after them when on walks. Use a leash when off your own property and always carry a poop bag.
