Though I can't say I "like" it - I don't object to people walking their dogs at the curb of my property, as long as they pick up the solids if the dog poops there. I would actually applaud the owner if I saw them spray a urine neutralizer on the affected area if the dog peed there (they exist, you can buy them in any pet store). If I saw a dog owner doing that, I'd probably buy some dog treats and offer one every time I saw the two walking toward our yard.
Meanwhile, I DO object to people who walk their dogs further onto our lawn. I saw someone do that a couple of months ago. He stepped off the street, around 20 feet onto our property, and let his dog take a poop next to our flower bed. He not only didn't pick up after the dog, he didn't even carry a baggie to do so if he got caught.
Since it was the first time I saw this happen, I decided not to say anything. If I see it a second time, I will absolutely go outside and confront the guy directly. And I won't be very polite about it.
