No it's not. I did it every day of the six years we lived in The Villages.
There is no reason a dog can't go in their own yard. They may not want to but if you keep them walking around long enough it will happen. Put the dog on the leash and keep them moving around, even if it's only a ten foot circle, and it will happen. Ctuttle in the time it takes you to walk your dog to the "public" area but your dog can't hold it and goes on a neighbor's lawn, you could have been walking your dog in your own yard and had success there and not be ticking off your neighbors.
My dog knew we did not go for a walk until everything was taken care of first in our own yard.
Sorry, but I don't buy it.
