I wouldn’t categorize using your lawn as a personal attack. In my opinion, it is not the dog, it is the owner you need to train.

Yes. But in rare instances owners may not be present, dogs could be feral/wild or rabid. That is why I say dog is not usually the problem. There is a possibility of unforseen circumstances.
