To your point, I was spreading fertilizer with weed killer a couple of weeks ago and a neighbor was letting their dog go in my yard (with me watching), and I continued to push the spreader down the side where the dog and owner were standing.
I got closer and closer and the neighbor didn't pull the dog away or move from the curbing. In that instant, I thought I would see just how long he would stay there. I kept approaching and eventually was ejecting pellets on the neighbor and dog. I felt bad for doing it, but it was incredulous that the neighbor had asserted his priority to my yard.
We both made quick small talk and ackwardly went our separate ways (me, staying in my yard, and him, moving on with his dog).
I would never allow my dog into a yard that is being treated by an individual or a contractor service.
The whole incident was weird and I felt the worse for being part of it.

Why Do We Not allow them on someone else’s lawn? Proper training for one, and……..
I Don’t Know What Is On Your Lawn, Chemicals, animal pellets, a liquid that could cause harm to their paws, or other dogs waste. Dog parks have always been a no. When I run at 3am they are right by my side with a 2’ lead.
