| While her punishment was extreme, I bet she won't do it again. What she did was irresponsible.

| Hey Tammy- you need to send this to your neighbors. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/off...complaint.html for anyone who missed what I'm referring to.

| I think to arrest her was extreme but she probably did walk her dogs on their property and let them go to the bathroom. I think it should have been handled in civil court though. It just sounds like feuding neighbors.

| I wonder if I could have gotten the police to arrest my neighbor for something like this if I weren't a State Trooper? I think it's way out of hand.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Wow, susan you are a state trooper in NJ? That is cool. My brother Kevin, wants to be a state trooper too. He is going to be a senior and then when he goes to college he is studying criminal justice.

| There is no way the police would have bothered arresting this woman for trespassing for something like that if Barth's husband hadn't been an officer. For one, these things are usually he-said/she-said sorts of things - unless Barth had a picture of the woman, or witnesses who SAW her step onto the property. Out of curiosity though, how many people feel it is inappropriate to let your dog walk on/along the first few feet of someone's grassy property, PROVIDED you cleanup poop? (Can't do much about pee, except maybe not allow them to pee...) When I lived in Maine, I allowed it (always cleaned up poop). Grass grows easily there though, so I never thought anyone would mind (leaving poop is another matter - I HATED it when my neighbors left poop in my yard)... But then, I never had a specific request to NOT do so that I blatantly ignored either... |

| I agree that they never would have arrested her if this guy wasn't a cop. If she was specifically told not to walk them in the yard then she shouldn't have, but gosh I walk my dogs in our subdivision and clean up after them immediately and my opinion of it is - if you don't want to live that close to other people don't live in a subdivision. Kids cut across my driveway all the time on their bikes... It's just part of having neighbors. My dogs like the sniffing and peeing part of their walks more than the actual walk. They stop in every yard and walk on the grass. They are on leash and we try not to linger anywhere. We have a walking path through a bunch of people's back yards and they always complain at homeowner meetings about dogs going in their yards. Well, there is grass on either side of the path, what are they supposed to do, poop on the path? Trust me, when Loki has to go he has to go, and he poops multiple times on EVERY walk even if he had just gone in our yard. I pick it up, so these people need to lighten up! I always make a big deal about getting my bag out, letting them SEE me pick it up. THEY CHOSE to live along the walking path. There are plenty of houses in our subdivision that are way on the outskirts but these people picked a house around the central path... These people also complain about us people "in the townhouses" walking our dogs because we don't have fences. I'd STILL walk my dogs people! ETA: There are others who do not pick it up and that's NOT OK... and a lot of them are big dogs so it's big piles.

When I walk Gracie I allow her to use the grass between the curb and sidewalk and of course clean up behind her. In our neighborhood there isn't any other place for the dogs to go so it's really the only option. If we had a special dog walking area I would use that. Everyone is pretty good about cleaning up behind their dogs where I live, thank goodness.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | That's the most ridiculous thing in the world. If the guy wasn't a state trooper no one would give a darn. She wasn't right for letting her dogs on his grass, but it's insane. That jerk who did the at-home nuetering didn't even get such a harsh punishment.

| Well, shoot, if everyone could do this, I'd be able to put half my neighborhood in jail! I wonder what I could do to the people whose cats fight under my house? Hmmm... |
