I believe the phrase is more specific. When I was growing up in New 
York City, circa 1932, one of the things a kid learned very quickly 
was to keep an eye on the sidewalk to avoid stepping on dog 
excrement. "Curb your dog" was an edict to take your dog just beyond 
the curb so that the excrement would be in the road instead of the 
sidewalk.
