If you live in a bigger city, are visiting, or have just come across signs asking you to \u201ccurb your dog\u201d, you may have left scratching your head. If you\u2019re not familiar with the phrase \u201ccurbing\u201d and you own a furball, you should probably get to know the rules of \u201ccurbing\u201d for future reference! Here\u2019s Sit Means Sit<\/a>‘s list of all you need to know about \u201ccurbing your dog\u201d.<\/p>\n

Curbing?<\/h3>\n

In the most general sense, curbing your pup means not urinating or defecating in a specific area. For example, you may come across hundreds of curbing signs on the sidewalks of New York City to prevent pet-owners from letting their dog do their business in the controlled area.<\/p>\n

There are two different accepted definitions of what constitutes \u201ccurbing\u201d for dogs. On one hand, some people think of curbing as just keeping your dog under control and supervision (i.e. making sure you don\u2019t leave feces in the street and properly dispose of it). On the other, people define curbing as actually going to the end of the street, where the gutter areas are, and having your dog do their business there (and pick up what they leave behind)!<\/p>\n

Origin<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re not native to a big, walkable<\/a> city, you may have never encountered a curbing sign\/area! Signs stating \u201ccurb your dog\u201d began to appear in NYC in the 1930s to eliminate extra waste plaguing the city. Especially during the time of origin, there was an extreme amount of feces (and other forms of trash) from horses. The problem was out of control so the city came up with \u201ccurbing\u201d as an effort to eliminate extra feces from the city sidewalks.<\/p>\n

Another law to control defecation was put into law in 1978, referred to as the \u201cpooper scooper law\u201d. This required owners to pick up whatever their pooch \u201cdropped\u201d and deter urination on plants as canine urination can actually kill some species!<\/p>\n

Overall, the general understanding for these signs is to not let your dog \u201cgo\u201d anywhere they please and to be sure to clean up after them! Check out your local dog-friendly areas and don\u2019t forget the poop bags<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
