Neighbor shoved another neighbor over dog peeing in yard. Who is right here?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 20th, 2026 2:35 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Neighbor A rents a house in our nice suburban neighborhood. It being a nice suburban neighborood, many people walk their dogs around.
Neighbor A put up a bunch of MAF, YSSF signs in his yard saying "no dogs pooping and peeing here" and "you're on camera." A few other people have signs saying "no pooping" or "be respectful" or "clean up after your dog." Most people have nothing of the sort, and there have not been significant issues with people not cleaning up after their pets. No one else has anything close to what Neighbor A has in terms of anti-dog yard signs.
Neighbor B was walking his dog on the sidewalk in front of Neighbor A's house. The dog stopped to poop or pee (not clear which). Neighbor A rushed out and confronted Neigbor B. Words were exchanged. Neighbor B shoved Neighbor A (possibly to the ground). Neighbor A retreated inside and emailed the neighborhood listserv a scathing rant and a picture of Neighbor B and his dog. Who is right here?
Can Neighbor A justifiably say no dogs pooping and peeing in his yard, within a couple feet of the sidewalk? |

confronting someone for their bad behavior is normal and acceptable. making the conflict physical is unreasonable and assault |

Date: February 20th, 2026 4:15 PM Author: Nazca Redlines What was the bad behavoir? Walking a dog on the sidewalk in a suburban neighborhood like millions of other Americans? Not cleaning up dog poop is bad behavoir. Walking a dog who pees in the neighbor's yard, two feet from the sidewalk, is fine and part of living in the suburbs.

Date: February 20th, 2026 2:57 PM Author: Darnell peeing is hard to prevent and is grudgingly acceptable. pooping should be picked up immediately and completely. a lot of people leave poop in others yards or do a shit job cleaning it up.
if you have non-grass plants (say ornamental shrubs or other plants) that can be harmed by dog pee, it's fine to put up a sign that says "no peeing" and others should respect it.
repeat offenders might find some rat poison left out for their pups. |

Date: February 20th, 2026 4:18 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Fine for ornamental plants and garden beds, which the homeowner (or in this case, renter--Neighbor A) should put a little fence around so dogs can't get in there.
It goes against societal norms to put up a bunch of ugly, angry signs in your yard that say don't even let your dog pee here, and you're on camera. |

It's not like the owner would be able to figure out where the dog got it |

Date: February 20th, 2026 4:20 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Interesting you say that. Neighbor A's house is immediately across the street from a park with a nice field where many people let their dogs run around. Now, guess how the dog owners get to said field.
And what entitlement? That dogs should be able to relieve themselves on the grass outside, two feet from the public sidewalk? |

assaulting the owner is not the way |

Date: February 20th, 2026 5:29 PM Author: Emperor CRISPR Chad von Neumann III Depends a bit on the yards and the dog/walker’s behavior. Letting a dog poop 6+ feet into the small grass yard where the homeowner’s children play is a huge dick move. Letting a dog poop in the verge and cleaning it up well, especially if it’s 50 feet from the front of the house, is nbd. Dogs peeing on the mailbox post or in the same spot everyday and killing grass is also dickish.
Guy who initiated violence is in the wrong, obv. |

Date: February 20th, 2026 5:59 PM Author: Nazca Redlines I don't think Neighbor A's issue is with any one particular dog or dog owner. I think he doesn't want dogs peeing on his (rented) yard.
I doubt the dog was unreasonably far off the sidewalk and into the yard.
Sure, initiating violence isn't great. But at some point, it's a reasonable response to someone rushing up to you and getting in your face. |

Date: February 20th, 2026 5:59 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Why? The societal norm is that it's OK for a dog to relieve itself in the grass near the sidewalk, and the dog walker picks up any solid waste. If you don't like that, don't live in a suburban neighborhoold in a house with a sidewalk in front of it and not front-yard fence or hedges or anything.
