    "A lot of people don’t like when you don’t have a tall enough fence for your dog and or when they’re barking, they might call animal control for a dog noise complaint. Over all everyone in the neighborhood is very friendly and would always lend a helping hand when needed."

    "Don't have a dog so can't imagine. Don't want a dog right now, so not bothered. Dogs are great, it's just the owner that cause the problems. I think dogs and their owners would be better off elsewhere! "

    "Dogs are out walking a lot, but theres few areas to take them. The public park bans dogs, theres only 1 restaurant that allows them on the patio, the beaches are off limit for dogs between sunrise and sunset... You definitely have to get creative or travel for your dog to actually run. "
