Your first task is to contact the dog warden and find out exactly what the
law
is in that jurisdiction. In most places it is illegal for owners to walk
their
dogs on your property without your permission. However, if they are
walking
their dogs on the town right-of-way near the street, it's entirely
different.

Been there, done that. The law consists of two main points. First, like most
other places, the first however many feet belongs to the town. Second, no
dumping or damage of any kind is permitted. Reason (per the town justice):
Maintenance is the responsibility of the homeowner, which extends certain
"private usage rights", as he called it. These rights mean that in certain
instances, the law treats the easement as being private property.
