What makes you think it's a losing battle? Like squatters on property they don't have any right to, they can and should be charged. As to having very few places for dogs to run, that sounds like the dog owners problem. They weren't thinking when the moved here or got their dog. Don't push the responsibility on others.
And, I don't think "taking the high road" is a euphemism for allowing self entitled bullies making you tuck your tail between your legs and run away.
Too many people try and justify or excuse bad behavior.
Jmho.
