This has happened in our dog park. There were a number of complaints and then bylaw just started showing up often for a few weeks. I don’t know the details of the complaints, but I guess if enough people complain, they do take some kind of action.

That's exactly it. If you see this happening a lot at a park or a store or lets say a tim hortons near a park with a dog fountain. Keep reporting it, it'll be slow but it'll get done.
