[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they use your yard without your permission and your dog bites them, it is their liability. [/quote]

Why does the OP have a vicious unpredictable dog in the first place? Being a parent, and having kids with friends, I'd never keep such an insane dog.[/quote]

I agree.  Dog owners like this are complete idiots.[/quote]

:roll:

[b]Even the most gentle, calm dog will protect his/her domain from a stranger.  The house/yard is the dog's territory.  You are a stranger violating his/her territory.  The dog will act.  That doesn't make the dog vicious or unpredictable; it makes the dog a dog.

You're too polite, OP.  I wouldn't want my neighbors using my yard either while I was home or wasn't home.  That's just weird. [/b] It's also teaching the kid not to respect boundaries.  When my DD was younger and saw a swing set, she automatically equated that as a park.  We had to teach her that no, not all play equipment is park equipment.  One of my favorite memories is of her seeing a very cool playground set up at a daycare and asking, "is that a public park or a private park?"  And after explaining it was private, her replying with "that makes me sad.  Can we just stand here for a moment so I can close my eyes and pretend I'm playing on it in my head?"  It became a joke in our family... "just close your eyes and pretend in your head."           [/quote]
