In response to below:
I can't speak for all non-dog owners, but I would be in favor of section of the park set aside for a dog run and would be OK with limited off-leash hours being an option as well. Especially if it meant that during daytime, the leash laws were followed.

Also there are plenty of off leash dogs in the surrounding neighborhood, especially in areas by the Marina, Liberty Harbor Ferry and Washington St., which is actually more inconsiderate.

I'm really curious to the opinion of those opposed to allowing dogs off leash(not being sarcastic). There have been plenty of comments about dog owners preventing non dog owners from being able to use the park. Additionally, the previous poster just made the point that Morris Canal is the only park in the neighborhood.

I understand residents not wanting to walk all the way to VVP for recreation, and I would hope you can empathize that local dog owners don't want to walk to VPP to be able to let their dogs off leash in a dog run.

Would you all be opposed to instituting off-leash hours as an option, as NY and Brooklyn have done? Typically park open -9am and 9pm to park close.

Agreed- for those of us fed up with the off-leash dogs, contact the JC Mayor's Action Bureau.  http://www.cityofjerseycity.com/ or call 201-547-4900 for quality of life items such as this.  The more people concerned with this issue, the likelier some action will be taken.  I have contacted them and they have been open to my concerns

After the irresponsible dog owner let his off leash dog run well of him and jump on my pregnant wife (while not taking responsibility, leashing his dog or even apologizing), combined with other incidents, this is a quality of life issue that's important to me and I stand with others on this forum.  Over the past week, I've asked several dog owners to leash their dogs and they have refused (these were not even in the Morris Canal Park, but on nearby streets and walkways).

One conversation, "Can you please leash your dog, recently an off leash dog jumped on my pregnant wife"  Dog owner: "Wasn't my dog".

Why should the only park in this neighborhood be taken over by off-leash dogs, limiting enjoyment for others?  That's not being a good neighbor.

Keep on being squeaky wheels.  Maybe nothing will change.  But it doesn't hurt to try.

Even the most responsible dog owners can have bad luck. Why cheat fate and allow your dog to be purposely off leash? Setting aside the legal ramifications; it just isn't a very bright idea.

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?se ... 55.166167960121517&type=3

Stacy Kiebler and her foster dad Joe were in a hit and run on Grove St in JC Tuesday 7/9 around 2:30pm. We need YOUR HELP to find the driver AND we need you to donate towards her upcoming surgeries. Joe was standing in front of city hall, crossing the street at the cross walk. A car turned onto Grove and hit Joe knocking him to the ground ! He dropped Stacy's leash who ran towards Columbus super scared. Joe got up and ran after her. He saw her pinned under a truck on Columbus and told the driver to move his truck. When Stacy was freed, she ran away into Dixon Mills where people helped to catch her, call the paramedics and the police.

JOE her foster dad is in a lot of pain and will be for several days. He did not have any broken bones. He is mostly concerned for Stacy and we hope both Joe and Stacy get better ASAP !

DID YOU SEE THE CAR WHO HIT JOE ? DO YOU HAVE ANY PICTURES ? PLEASE HELP US STOP ALL THE SPEEDING IN JC ! IF YOU SAW SOMETHING PLS GO TO THE POLICE !

PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO STACY'S UPCOMING SURGERY, ESTIMATES RANGE FROM $10-15K. CLICK ON http://tinyurl.com/SSRDonate AND CHECK OFF I'm sending money to family or friends so that we can get the WHOLE AMOUNT. THANK YOU !


That's terrible and supremely ironic. Like I said to these dopes Jersey City needs to enforce TRAFFIC laws. I am glad both dog and foster Dad are okay.

I'm sure Adam Graves would support your crusade.

Hamilton Park, this morning.


Sorry, anyone trying to sell this as a pressing public issue is doing so out of an overwrought sense of principle. If this really bothers you then perhaps you do need to move somewhere far away from "other people". The city needs to enforce traffic laws and not focus on some nitwit's pet-peeve. Is someone going to present this photo at the next Captain's meeting?

Great point Angel. The answer to that is simple. I'm willing to wager that 9 out of 10 dog owners, when asked your question, will say some version of "not my dog, he/she is good. My dog wouldn't do that".

It's astounding how many dog owners exhibit little to no control over their pets, yet don't understand why I'd think this. This is most evident when watching how they walk their dogs on leash.

I've said it before...when you see someone walking a dog, and the dog is walking out ahead of them, the owner has already failed. The dog is walking them! That's not my assessment, that's the assessment of practically every dog trainer in existence. The problem is never the dog, the problem is with the humans, the owners.

Don't misunderstand me; there are responsible dog owners out there and I'm painting a broad picture. But they're few and far between. Just because you're free to buy a dog, doesn't mean you'll be good at it. It takes years of proper training and commitment, all of which few dog owners will actually commit to.

But you raise a great point with your post and I thank you for taking the time to write it.

Agreed 100%

I live close to this woman who owns 5-6 of these little white dogs, and i'm pretty sure a couple of them are demented. One in particular just goes berserk and keeps barking and jumping up and down every time it sees me wakling out on my porch or doing something in the backyard.

seriously this one does not stop, I've timed him once, about 35 minutes and I was the one who gave up and went inside. we've have fights about her dogs, neighbors have pleaded, complained to keep the dogs inside the house as they make such a racket in the middle of the night or at the crack of dawn when she lets them out.

now - i'm sure there is some sort of law against letting your dog bark incessantly at all hours of the day, but so far people in the neighborhood, in the last say 7-8 years, maybe more, has not called the Police, or Animal Control on her. I myself don't want to see her dogs taken away

but one day, someone is going to be fed up enough and we'll need to make that call - it could be me

That was almost as unreadable as it was pointless.

I was born and raised in JC. What's your point?

I had to skim over all the posts in between. I am a dog owner in DTJC and I agree with your concerns. I think if you make the commitment to have a dog, you should respect the laws and respect others in the community.

If you're on the street/sidewalks keep your dog on a leash.

If you're in a park and your dog is well trained, let it run around and be a dog for a bit. go jump in the canal by the colgate clock. play catch at lincoln park. have at it.

Clean up your dog's shit, and throw it in a trashcan.

that is all.

And leave the dog outside when going into a food establishment. Also try to keep the dog at bay when I am in close proximity to it.

If you're on the street/sidewalks keep your dog on a leash.

If you're in a park and your dog is well trained, let it run around and be a dog for a bit. go jump in the canal by the colgate clock. play catch at lincoln park. have at it.

Clean up your dog's shit, and throw it in a trashcan.

that is all.


Exactly.

I thought of you the other day when I saw an officer on foot in Hamilton Park walk right past an off leash dog. I guess "Operation Round-Up" didn't happen?

Maybe try this? It calms you but doesn't disturb the neighbors. It will help you tremendously when you realize that the cops aren't going to do anything about dogs.

The principle behind this kind of plan is to implement community policing to deal will ALL safety issues in the community in a fair and balanced way. Dog-related issues form part, but only part of that plan.

I expect to see great improvements from the new admin as a result of this. If Steve and Candice turn around at the end of their terms and point to having solved the dog poop issue in Morris Canal Park as their crowning achievement on safety, I know where my next vote won't be going.

Thankfully, I know both Steve and Candice have a more balanced approach to policing than that. Feel free to lobby your pet issue though. It deserves attention, but not the kind of unbalanced attention you appear to seek.

The plan is excellent, specifically the part of police involvement in community meetings. The JCPD will be involved in neighborhood meetings at some point in the future, during which a discussion on proper fines, etc, will be addressed. While not a SWAT team, I think this will suffice. Thank you for pointing this out.

Seems like a good plan to me. No mention of any kind of dog poop S.W.A.T. team though.

The level of arrogance and selfishness of some of the people on this thread is notable but not surprising.

As a dog owner myself, I am amazed at how some people truly can think of no one but themselves. I personally love dogs. But many people don't. In fact there is a sizable portion of the population that is uncomfortable or even scared around dogs.

Letting a dog off leash in public (outside of a dog park) shows you are completely indifferent to people who may not be comfortable around dogs. You can use whatever excuse you want -- it's early, there aren't any other dogs in the park, etc -- but the fact is you are using a shared, community resource in a way that limits how much other people can enjoy it. It's really not all that different than playing a boombox that's too loud.

If you choose to have a dog, it is your responsibility to keep it on a leash outdoors whenever you are not at a dog park. Period. If you can't manage that you shouldn't have a dog.

Not to mention that as sweet and predictable as you think your dog may be, you never know how two dogs will react. My mother brought her 15 year old terrier to the park a few months ago, and as soon as she stepped onto the grass two off-leash dogs -- small Lhaso Apsos who "had never done anything like this before" -- viciously attacked her dog. The fact that they didn't have a history of violence didn't mean much when her dog was nearly killed and required $5000 worth of surgery. Which by the way the owner of the off leash dogs is 100% on the hook for.

So you can rationalize it all you want. But leash laws exist for a reason. And when you decide not to follow them, you are putting your lack of consideration for everyone else on public display.


this. x1000.
