Curb your dog

Curb your dog means your dog must be under your control and must defecate and urinate in the street and not on your neighbor's sidewalk, lawn or property, i.e, walk the dog between the curbs. This is the law in many large cities and it is common to see signs indicating dog owners must curb their dog. The phrase ‘Curb Your Dog’ originated in the 1930’s in New York City. It means that owners cannot allow their pets to soil buildings, nor can a dog make a nuisance of himself on the grass of the parkway or on the sidewalk." ‘Please Curb your Dog’ means ‘Don’t let your dog do its business on the sidewalk. Let your dog do it in the road’.
