I think that some folks do overreact when they see someone's dog approaching their lawn. Then there are some folks who get upset when some folks don't pick up after they do their business and assume all dog owners are the same.
As a pet owner, I try to have our dog take care of her business on our lawn and then we pick it up and flush it in our toilet. After she is done, then she gets to go for a walk and we try to make sure she stays close to curb. There are occasional accidents and we always carry a bag to pick up.
We never leave her stuff at mail stop or down storm drains. Sadly, some folks do and that makes it bad for the responsible owners.
I find it strange that some owners never have their dog(s) go on their lawn. They always make sure it is done on a neighbors or at the common areas.
