I once had a dog named "Stay". I would say "come here, Stay". But, that dog was impossible to train.
I also don't mind if the occasional dog out on a walk decides to take a dump on my lawn--as long as the owner picks up after the dog.

A big problem however is that a dog needing to take a dump will dump on a spot where he has done it before, even if his droppings are picked up by the owner. Had that problem before we moved here. Our neighbor's dog (a beautiful boxer) that ordinarily did her business faithfully in the neighbor's yard, one day strayed over into my yard and let fly. I scooped it up and dropped it back in the neighbor's yard, however the dog returned to that spot several more times. The only thing that got her to stop was a spray can of a particularly malodorous dog repellent which I sprayed liberally on the spot.
