If you say in a very nice way: "I'd appreciate it if you don't walk your dog on my property",
you might be surprised at the reaction.

It's possible that some dog walkers are off in dreamland and have never considered that they are trespassing.
It's worth a try, rather than posting on TOTV!
Most of the time it’s a futile conversation. The I’d appreciate conversation is met with rude remarks, the finger, and my dog does not do damage to our yard, why is it problem. On average per day we have no less than 11 dogs per day using our facilities. We actually have a dog owner who raises their garage door half way, stoops underneath, drags the dog down the drive, away from their lawn, walks across the street to our lawn so the dog can use our facilities.

Response is I did know you were home. It’s a multi daily thing. But I will say they have the perfect lawn, and ours well it has gone to the dogs, so to speak.

We are on the corner, we get lots of puppy traffic. Our fur baby does not live here yet, so rude awakening for her when she gets to move in. She is very territorial and is not going to be happy when she comes here to live full-time.
