Un-neighborly dogs...

[nutz]

This whole thing is rather amusing. Having a farm with livestock, stepping in it is pretty much expected. Amazing how the smaller a property gets the more possessive people are about “Stay off my lawn”. And how surprised they look when I say, No I dont want you hunting here, No I dont want you riding your atv here, etc. etc.

Its a huge problem when i'm in my yard and I step in it.

The only thing worse is fox crap. Stepped in some whilst hunting for a Christmas tree one year. Had to toss the shoes immediately.

Actually, I fully agree with you having full control over your property.

Me, I hate lawn grass, think of it as a noxious, invasive specie, which should be eradicated in total.

I'll give you that, back home housing encroached on friends' family run farm. The new neighbors, fresh from the big city, used the farm behind their house as a place to dispose of their unwanted appliances and such. Not stufff you wanted to run over with tractor.
These same people who talked about living out in the "country" (really suburbia) also complained about the smells from the land and other nuisances the farms inflicted upon them. I would like to tell them that if the farmer is forced to sell, it will probably be to a developer and that farm you back up to will probably end up being shitty neighbors just like you (them).

That is expected. Stepping in it because your neighbor deliberately lets their dog dump in your yard makes the difference. The dog doesn't know any better, the person should.

Simple solution here - outlaw dog ownership (and rental) for anyone living on less than 10 acres. The incessant barking of neighbors dogs at all hours of the day and night is as bad or worse than the crap!
