I don't know if moving to the country would help..my parents live out in the country on 48acres. Dogs are ALWAYS running through our property. There's always unknown poop in their yard around the house...dog poop, cat poop, coyote poop, etc.... I think you'll end up with more poop and unknown animals in your yard if you live in the country.
Definitely get your sign
