When I first moved here I was irritated about the dog walkers (I'm a cat guy) who "allowed" their pooches to relieve themselves in my yard. I've even been "tactfully reminded" that the first 10 ft. is not technically mine. But after a while I noticed that the grass wasn't being affected, unlike my rye grass mixture lawn did up in NJ.

So now I just say hello to my neighbors from my street facing lanai (that at least let's them know I see them) and refrain from stressing out.

(Except for the one guy I saw standing with his dog in the middle of my large corner yard. "Hey, this isn't a public park buddy!!")
Doesn't seem to bother the St Augustine grass on our lawn. My Border Collie goes several times a day on it along with other neighborhood pooches. No brown spots.

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
