Put those little spraying signs up. And yes it is damn rude to have dog owners intentionally lead the dog to a smooth front lawn to pee or poop. ----dog owner

Yeah, you don't want the dogs to pee on the road. That's gross. Personally, I wouldn't have the time to care that my grass looks shabby near the road, on the easement. And I'm a person with a lot of free time.

The only suggestion here that seems low effort and maybe effective is to find something safe to spray and deter the dogs. Otherwise, you're one step away from being that crazy lady you speak of.

We typically walk our dog on streets with sidewalks and direct her to pee in the tree box. If there is no sidewalk on either side of your street, then yes, dogs are going to pee in your grass, hopefully as close to the street as possible.

Dogs do not urinate on sidewalks and it would be gross if they did. Do you want to step in puddles of dog urine? You can knock on the window when you see the dogs if you want to be “that neighbor.”

Dogs do not urinate on the asphalt.

I would put a low fence or hardy hedge at the easement line and gravel in front where the dogs pee

I once witnessed a person I did not recognize bring her dog onto my actual lawn to let him poop!

My dog pees in the strip of grass between sidewalk and street. I try my best to keep her out of people's yards in general. Dogs will urinate and poop where they smell other dog's urine and poop. It's up to owners to direct their dogs to the proper pee spot (i.e., not on somebody's lawn).

I'm sure there is something you can buy that will stop the dogs from peeing on the grass at the end of your lawn, something that you can spray which is not harmful to dogs. Try searching on Google.

You could try a low fence. Dogs will still pee on shrubs but maybe they'd be more hardy.

I think it's fine for you to let your imaginary dog pee in your neighbor's yard!

My favorite is my neighbor who has no dog signs on their lawn but their dogs piss all over everyone else’s lawn

Put up some hedges. Problem solved.

Dogs pee where they smell other pee spots so it's really hard to break that cycle. Plus it's not really your property. Outta luck.

We just moved to a quiet residential street without a sidewalk. Our yard goes all the way to the street, though the city has an easement on the first 3' or so feet. I work from home with a clear view of the front of our yard, and at least four dogs urinate or poop in the easement area every day. I don't mind the poop - the walkers always pick it up right away. But the pee has left a number of areas of dead grass. Technically, it's all in the city easement, but it looks terrible across the front of an otherwise very green and healthy lawn. It's not important enough to me to be the crazy lady who runs outside and tells people to have their dogs pee elsewhere, but it does make me wonder why they all use our yard. Including my next door neighbor! Do dogs not pee on asphalt? Is there any etiquette around where to train dogs to pee? If I got a dog (which I won't, but just for the sake of argument), would it be reasonable to let him pee in my neighbor's yard (the easement part)?
