To not want dogs to walk on my front lawn

I can't stand it when dog owners let their dogs walk on my front lawn and go about their business. Surely this is extremely disrespectful. I come home from work earlier to see a dog on my grass and the owner just waiting there until I walked past and into my garden then she smiled and walked away

Where I live there are no front fences. My dogs are not able to comprehend the lack of barrier between the pavement and the gardens. Do you know what I do?

I keep them on the lead and off the grass until we reach the park. The only exception to this is when arsewipes park fully on the pavement. Then I quite merrily march over their front garden.

I literally started a similar thread this morning in the dog section. Except it's my neighbour. And the dog poos in my garden every day. Not allowed a fence.

Suggested this before, but a sign that reads simply "Dog Owners Beware, Weedkiller on Grass" works a treat.

Of course, don't apply the weedkiller, but you'll find most will quickly yank their dog away just in case.

I've been a dog owner my entire life and do think that is it just common courtesy to try and keep your dog off other people's lawns.
However, I don't think it's 'extremely disrespectful' to let her dog walk on your lawn if there was no actual boundary in place. I'm assuming your lawn is still in one piece?

I would never let my children or my dog walk on people's gardens.

People actually let their dogs/children do that?
