Can't get any simpler than that. No need for signs or post. Just don't trespass, problem solved.
My husband and I are dog lovers and owners and respect other people's property. We even respect their opinion . . . when they make sense and don't become arrogant.

Truthfully, I don't see how a tresspass law? / rule? / edict? could be put into effect. Personally, I find the word "trespass" offensive because it seems to only be used regarding people walking their dog. Within each Village, there are no sidewalks. You cannot walk a dog in the street under most circumstances, because the asphalt is excruciatingly hot and will burn their feet.

We take our dogs to "go" in our yard before we walk them. Sometimes they go and sometimes they don't. If they go on someone's property, we have our handy baggie with us.

Other than that, there really isn't an answer, I'm afraid.

What did all these people do before they moved here???
