If she cleaned up after the dog, what's the problem?

1) You apparently don't observe dogs very effectively. Even if the crap is
cleaned up, the scent interests OTHER dogs, including the unleashed ones.
Then, the spot becomes popular and the property owner has to deal with the
results.

2) If you dragged your trash can to a neighbor's property, dumped it on the
middle of their lawn, and cleaned it up, you'd be arrested and taken
somewhere for psychological evaluation. Afterward, you'd get a little
talking-to from a judge. There is no difference between this and the dog
owner I described.

3) Private property comes with certain rights and privileges. If the owner
asks you to remove your shoes when walking on their lawn, you do it. If the
owner asks dog owners not to stop their animals on the property, regardless
of whether they clean up after them, the request will be honored. Period. No
questions, no debates, no excuses.
