I think if you put the dog poo in their yard every time it happens- ven if they are watching it might get the message across- My dog- bless her heart, is almost 14 yrs old. My kids sometimes accidentally let her out the front door- I have a fenced in back yard which is where we normally let her out- but I swear my dog has an aversion to pooping in my front yard and prefers my neighbors yard- I ALWAYS clean it up immediately!! Otherwise it is just rude and tacky! Once I called them because their shih tzu pooped several times on my sidewalk - and I was carrying my DD then a baby to the car and was afraid I would step in it- I went over, let the husband know- he apparently told the wife and it started a big thing where I was not talked to or even acknowledged- ithurt my feelings. I was not rude- but she took it personally. Now we are past that- but I ALWAYS p/U right away. You have it good, somoene to watch your child when you need it- I also agree it might be wise to pick your battles- what do you prefer- green plants and a poo free yard or someone you trust to look after your child- because if you pick the green lawns you may be finding a new sitter- whether it is right or wrong- just the fact. Good luck...still like the idea of putting the poop in their yard though- I mean why and how could they be annoyed at that- if it does not seem to bother them when their dog poops on your yard, they should not have a problem to you kindly placing it in thier yard.....right? If its good enough for you - why not for them-!
