I see neighbors guide their pets from their front door, keeping them on their sidewalk and driveway, and then once they exit their property, the leash become a 25' leader and the dog walks wherever it wants.
My neighbor has a corner lot and I call him the Mayor of S-Town. People loosen their leaders to let dogs walk the entire length of the leash into the neighbors yard. I've seen dogs within 7-10' of the neighbors lanai (with them sitting outside in it) and letting the dog do it business. Luckily they come into the yard and bag it, but it must be aggravating to not have privacy in your yard or lanai.

They use every and any argument they can think of to justify their rude, selfish and self-entitled behavior.
I also have a corner lot, so I understand your frustration. So many seem to believe that breaking laws, being respectful of their neighbors, or being truly responsible pet owners allows that, if they haven't been told otherwise, they can do anything they please. I have confronted a few of these folks over the years, and you wouldn't believe the self-righteous indignation and out right aggression I have faced from most of them. Sadly, the rule against posting signs in your yard prevents us from "keep off the lawn" or "no dogs" signs. That, imo, should be an allowable exception, since it might help avoid nasty confrontations that could have the potential of becoming dangerous.
It is often difficult to realize that the dog is not the problem. The problem is the self-entitled or oblivious owner.
