I came into this situation and before I do something out of rage, I needed to know your opinions.

I have a big yard, and it extends to a sidewalk and then grass and an oak tree. All the property belongs to us (the design is same for all houses here). My neighbor brings his dog out, and today while we were chatting with him and his wife outside, their dog (without a leash) came and peed on the oak tree in our yard.

Now i am not a fan of dogs, and I just absolutely hate dogs peeing and pooping some place where I may be laying my picnic basket in summer. We didn't tell them anything and of course the neighbor also showed no reaction.

Now I had a good talk with my husband alone. We both are not aware of the pet rules here in US, and the neighbor is also Indian so I'm not sure whether he will be knowing them. Is it acceptable for dogs to be ting in other people's yards during their walks? My husband had also seen this dog doing the same thing in other people's yards in the cul de sac. Would it be appropriate to tell the neighbor to watch his dog and not let him in other people's property?

Or am I just overreacting?

Please advise.

It's out in front of the fence so I was thinking electrified driveway - or a shotgun. Or both.

Yikes, I'd steer clear of the shotgun.

JudyKayTee

Probably good advice. Okay, only the electrified driveway.

Hee, hee, I hope you're kidding.

I probably would not have said anything, especially if it was a one time occurrence. It could be the the dog came over there because the owners were over there. Now if the dog had pooped in my yard, if the owners had not taken steps to get it up, I would have said something.
