Redditor Asks Lady To Not Let Her Dog Urinate In Front Of Their Shop And Gets Bashed For It
One small complaint about a dog peeing in front of a shop turned into a much bigger mess than anyone expected. What should have been a quick, polite request instead sparked a wave of backlash and plenty of Reddit debate.
In this story, a shop owner asked a woman not to let her dog urinate right outside the storefront, and the reaction was anything but calm. The situation quickly shifted from a simple boundary to a full-on argument about manners, public space, and who should be responsible for cleanup.
Now the comments are doing what Reddit does best, and they are not holding back. Read on.
The Headline...
Would you mind not letting your dog wee here?
I shouldn't be making such a request
The recent incident involving a Redditor asking a dog owner not to let their pet urinate in front of their shop underscores the complexities of human-animal interactions in shared public spaces. The clash of expectations between pet owners and business proprietors illustrates how differing perceptions of acceptable pet behavior can lead to misunderstandings. As seen in the article, the dog owner's instinct to let their pet mark territory conflicts with the shop owner's desire to maintain a clean and inviting environment.
The dog would be dead soon as it was old
As usual, the comments rolled in, and Redditors provided the OP with a lot of helpful tips to deter dogs from urinating in front of his shop. Here are some of their comments below.

This incident is indicative of the larger societal challenge of managing shared spaces and the behaviors that come with pet ownership.
Studies show that the perception of dogs as 'man’s best friend' can sometimes overshadow the need for responsible ownership in public settings.
When conflicts arise, it’s crucial for both parties to engage in constructive dialogue rather than resorting to hostility.

You're in a more justified place to say this
Buying sprays that will help deter dogs from sniffing and peeing
That is where the comments started getting even more pointed.

If your dog marks in unfamiliar environments or in areas where other dogs have urinated, it can be a sort of territorial marking. Although neutered males and spayed females frequently mark their territory as well, intact males suffer from the issue considerably more frequently.
Redditors offered helpful tips to the OP, and we hope it deters such incidents from happening again.
In situations like the one faced by the Redditor, navigating public space etiquette becomes crucial.
