Isn't it interesting how some rewrite, interpret laws to suit themselves.
You are absolutely correct about who owns what on your property. It's all yours, but you must give utility workers access to it--but not dogs or anyone else!

Where do people come up with this false idea that part of your yard is public property because there's an easement on it? It's amazing how many have misinterpreted this, including a good friend of ours who now knows better.

We have rescued a black lab mix. I was reluctant to bring him home at first because I knew from walking him at the Humane Society that he's a marker, and old and probably not going to change his marking ways. I let him mark around our property, then keep him on my right as we face traffic to walk. This puts him on the street but still close enough to be safe. In summer we will walk early morning and after dark. It's not a problem to keep him off others' yards. I mean, c'mon. Who's the boss?
