Quote HistoryQuoted: It doesn't matter if your dog isn't hurting anything in his yard. It's his yard and if he doesn't want your dog in it you should keep it off his property. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Dog owners who feel free to let their dogs run around in other people's yards, as if the world is their personal dog park, often don't seem to feel so free about walking into those yards to pick up their dogs shit. In my experience, said dog owners turn out to be pieces of shit who think they are the only ones in the universe... and run roughshod over other peoples property in other ways. Turn it around... would you be okay with someone letting their dog take a shit on your lawn, dig up your flowerbeds, scratch holes in your lawn, and make a nuisance of themselves? If not, don't be an asshole and let your dog run free. |

Stuff happens and your neighbor knows this. You should respect your neighbor and and them you. Fence in your yard. Do your best to get along with each other cause nothings worse then coming home and arguing with your neighbor.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My only regret is posting in GD, ha. Tells you how long it's been. I've broken no laws and not trespassed. The dog doesn't roam free, doesn't harass, and isn't a threat. If a few strides in the grass by the road pisses people off, you know what to do. If he dies running, he dies happy. If boomer neighbor had asked without being a dick, it would be a lot easier to consider. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Boomer is right- keep your dog out of other peoples yards. This. I have four dogs. They all love to run. I run them and have a large fenced in area for them when I'm not running them. I pay a shitload of taxes every year for our 10 acres the house is on, and more for the 80 acres of additional hunting land. I don't give a flying fuck how nice your dog is, or how many predators run through my property pushing deer away, unless you want to split the bill, keep your predators off my land. Also, my dogs aren't friendly. They are standoffish to people and aggressive to animals not in their pack. If I take them out for a run on public roads or through our property, or public property for that matter, they are leashed and I am carrying. If problems arise because an unleashed animal comes in leash range, it's getting solved...rapidly. |

Quoted: For a little background: Our house (rural area) is connected to a neighborhood with fairly big lots, good bit of space between most houses, etc… It’s very quiet with a few young families and retirees mixed. We use the neighborhood roads to access our drive but we are excluded from HOA covenants. Our dog is a smaller doodle mix and loves to run, so we take afternoon rides a few times a week on the golf cart so he can run beside us and get some exercise in. We ride in the woods next to the house and in the neighborhood, he runs the roads, will cut across a yard here and there, etc….. He’s very friendly, fluffy, not a threat to anything other than maybe a slow squirrel. Doesn’t even chase our cats or chickens. The other day i heard someone yell so I stopped and turned to see a older man marching down his driveway with his pointer finger at full draw, sternly telling me I need to put him on a leash, that his dogs were in a fence, and so we’re his neighbors. I asked if he had caused a problem for him and he cut me off with “I’ve seen him run through my yard”. Yes, he has cut through his yard a few times, which is on a curve in the road, so he cuts across the front. Our county has no leash law. What to do? Am I in the wrong assuming it’s ok for him to run off a leash? When dogs come into our property they usually get a pet on the head and a bone. I don’t know? All I can come up with is respect other person’s property. When someone goes through a long description about something that doesn’t matter to the question [I have a cute harmless dog and it needs a little exercise] then I know that someone is doing something that they know is not right and are looking for validation. |

Maybe I’m wrong for assuming most people are friendly. The yard owner might be friendly. Doesn’t mean he wants dogs in his yard. He did the polite thing by letting you know face to face instead of something else. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah I gotta go with OP is the asshole here. What if someone is walking their bigger dog on a leash and your dog runs up to it and gets attacked? I've seen the results of this type of scenario. City has a Leash Law. People "walking" their small dog without a leash and it runs on to property where a Rottweiler is tied up. The small dog ended up losing a leg and they wanted the Rottweiler's owner to pay the Vet bill. Big nope. |

Why should he have to ask you to keep your property off of his? You should be the one asking if it's ok if your dog is on his land. Keep your shit in check and to yourself.

Off leash dogs were perfectly normal in my neighborhood and people would give them treats. Nobody owned German Shepherds, Dobermans, Rottweilers or Pitbulls as pets. Those were all considered guard dogs. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is the neighbor being a dick? Absolutely. Could he have handled it more tactfully, by approaching you in a calm and respectful manner? Absolutely. Does every dog owner preface by saying "Fluffy wouldn't hurt anything, other than a slow squirrel / fly / etc"? Yes, and it's a tiresome diversion. Should you be in control of your animal at all times, and respect other peoples' property rights? Absolutely. You may be naive, and your Boomer neighbor an asshole; but at the end of the day you should control your animal, whether it be an 80lb "bully mix" or a 20lb yapper. Unfortunately, this is what happens when you have neighbors.  This right here |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Keep your dog out of other peoples yards. My town has a code on the books. Oh, and clean up after your dog too. That is a requirement to do that but amazing how many people do not bother when it is late at night or early in the morning and they think no one is watching so they leave a mound on a neighbors lawn. Plenty of cameras around these days that can see in the dark. |

Four pages and not one single pic of pup? You had one job OP.
My local my local boomer HOA Nazi drives a golf cart. He often violates the association covenants, local, and state laws while driving it. Sometimes I want tell him that. I also want to tell him he would be happier if he got more exercise. His diabetes and hemorrhoids wouldn't make him so grumpy. I then I decide to MYOB and drink my coffee. |

Would OP like it if boomer neighbor came over and took just two step into his house? What if he sat in your car for just a couple minutes?
It's his property, if he doesn't want you on it you should stay off of it. I don't want any dogs in my yard, I don't care how nice their owners think they are. If I wanted a dog in my yard then I would get one. |

I've never understood why some people get so bent out of shape because an animal ran across their property. Dogs will be dogs and if they take a shit hit it with the lawnmower when it's time to cut the grass. Some people are so hateful. There's really no hope for them.

Nobody likes your dog OP, most of your neighbors actually dislike your dog. Your neighbor has had enough of dogs. It probably isn't specific to your dog.
I don't blame him. I used to be a dog lover, dog owners have gradually turned me against them. At best other people's dogs are just ok if they stay in their yard and don't bark all day. |

If boomer neighbor had asked without being a dick, it would be a lot easier to consider. The manner in which your 'neighbor' addresses the situation is irrelevant and sorry that your feelings are hurt by someone talking 'harshly' to you. Is it a trespass? Your four-legged property walked on another person's property without permission. Is it an egregious trespass, nah. But your dog should not be on his property if he objects to it. Your dog is roaming free [un-leashed], doesn't harass [irrelevant], isn't a threat [irrelevant]. Stray dogs are subject to being shot in most rural neighborhoods. Your neighborhood sounds suburban, so shooting a dog is probably not something that will be looked upon favorably. Be a good pet owner and neighbor, keep your dog on public ways and under your control however you have to do it. |

Understand me when I say that I am a dog person, have been my whole life but I would not allow one to run on other people's property.
Used to take them to a vacant field and let them run, but as soon as I saw another person or dog the leash went back on. My GSD puppy was on leash when two off leash Dalmatians attacked him, my wife was walking him at the time and she was very upset, luckily no real damage although Ranger was gun shy the rest of his life. |
