Perhaps responses were slow to come because this is an old, old complaint.

Sadly, there are inconsiderate dog owners who allow their pets to befoul neighborhood lawns.

Equally sad is that legally it's not your lawn in most cases. If you will look at your purchase papers you will find that your property line is not at the street. In most cases the first 12 or 15 feet between the edge of the street and your property line is part of the roadway right-of-way. Although you are expected to maintain the lawn, it is not yours. You have no standing to charge a person in this area with trespassing.

People can ignore your complaints, so why bother?

Okay, read that statement. So where do your 2 dogs go potty ?

With all respect, Carl, whom I adore, it actually is your lawn for all purposes except as specified in the easement, which for the county is to build a road or the developer for utility repairs or upgrades. Otherwise homeless people could camp on my 13 foot easement.

We have a corner lot. Our dog is contained within our property by an Invisible Fence, so he does all his business in our yard. Our neighborhood has many other dogs and almost all their owners pick up if their dogs uses the grass in the easement closest to the street. Every once I awhile a stranger walks a dog and doesn't pick up after the dog. (That does frost me somewhat.) having said that, despite the use of a portion of our lawn by dogs, there is not a single spot where the lawn has suffered.

I think this thread should be moved to the Medical and Health Discussion. There are certain related overtones I'm picking up here.

I'll be right over with my male non-leg-lifting, 88-lb dog to show you what the spot looks like!

To that end, ours is trained to pee in the landscape stones:o
