Daniel Richardson for Myself Nashua Ah yes, the aroma of untrained dog owners turning their back on responsibility to pick up and take their dog shit. Its not the dogs fault. We have all seen owners just walk away with little if any risk of enforcement.	Nashua	Neutral	220	Jan 28, 2026
Diane Richardson for Myself Georges mills These requirements are well needed. Far too many out of control off leash dogs , including dog walking services taking multi off leash dogs . It’s gotten to the point where I a multi decade dog trainer cannot take my leashed dog for public trail hiking anymore due to being continually accosted by off leash dogs	Georges mills	Support	312	Jan 28, 2026
