They even walked their dog through yards located right across the street from an unbuilt lot where the dog could have gone...and where mine did go. It looked to me like they were walking carefully along the edge to allow the dog every possible yard to choose wherever it wanted to go. I'm gonna get a couple of "please keep off grass" signs.

I'm not trying to start a riot, but after researching laws, it looks like it is a first degree misdemeanor with a penalty of $1000 for trespass that leaves waste on homeowner yards. Please, no attacks. It's information, or how I read the statute anyway...
You are 100% right It is considered a trespass the owner of the dog recives the citation.I Spoke with the sheriff take a picture and they will issue a summons even if the dog does not relieve itself .and yes it's a misdemeanor
