AIBU?
To ask my neighbour to put their dog on a lead when on shared driveway?

Neighbour has a new rescue dog which she leaves to wander loose all over our shared driveway. I have a low fence around my garden which it can just hop over and I’ve already found its shit on my grass. My elderly cat feels unsafe. Would it be unreasonable of me to ask her to shut it in her garden where the fencing is more secure and or keep it on a lead when using the shared driveway?

Not unreasonable at all, however I fell out with neighbours in a past property who completely denied their dogs could possibly be responsible for leaving shit in our garden, despite being off lead and largely ignored by them. In hindsight I might have been better being a little more diplomatic. They were pretty anti-social and I saw red at dog poo on my path.

Presumably you don't have a dog? So you couldn't be blamed if that dog poo found its way onto your neighbour's doorstep.
Seriously, that was the only thing that stopped our neighbour chucking his dog's poo into our vegetable garden, at a time when we didn't have dog.

Could he have had a (bizarre, uninformed) belief that he was being kind and adding natural fertiliser to your veg patch?
