I have a cocker spaniel that needs to walk the block before she goes to the bathroom, and I carry bags and put it under her bottom when she does her business so no mess at all ever goes on my neighbors lawns. If one has a dog, this can be done easily and everyone will be happy.
I appreciate the trouble you go to with the "bag". But, if you are still using the neighbor's yard without expressed permission, you are still trespassing. Trespassing is inherently disrespectful of that neighbor and their property by usurping their land for your use.
Dogs do not need to walk in order to relieve themselves. After many years traveling on small boats, I have seen how well they adapt to having a small spot of carpet, like a cat has a litter box, for their toilet. Many of the places we traveled to we're not safe to go ashore. The only reason a dog really needs to walk is for exercise.
🐶 Good dog!
