HOW TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR IN
A PET-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY
Communities aim to offer a lifestyle for all residents to enjoy, so homeowners must do their part to
maintain a stable and healthy association. For pet owners, that means doing things like:
• Keeping dogs leashed and keeping other pets from wandering freely through the
neighborhood without you.
• Carrying bags to clean up after your pet, even if it's in your front yard. That includes disposing
of it properly.
• Addressing the excessive barking before it becomes an issue.
• Meeting your neighbors, saying hello, and making efforts to start relationships on the right foot.
• Being neighborly by doing things like offering to walk their dog while you're out with yours.
• Working together to resolve issues and remembering to keep an open mind to avoid conflict.
