Collect all your dogshit and dump it in the yard of the HOA president.
Can the dog owning houses replace their grass with wood chips or something?

Try to get the rule changed so it reads "no UNLEASHED dogs allowed on.... " And try to get them to add some kind of punishment for those who don't clean up after their dogs (i.e. a $50 fine or something like that). Sure people can bash HOAs (and I totally agree with why they are hated so much), but the rule was probably not enacted because of one incident. It was probably put into place after many issues with owners not cleaning up after their dogs, so they felt they had to do something.
As with all HOA issues, the solution is to be in on it.... be part of the HOA. Run for office and get on the board. Being part of the process makes it that much easier to control what rules get put up.
We don't have issues with unleashed dogs, or even with people not cleaning up dog crap, it's just too much dog pee causes dead grass.
So it's not directed at members for the states of their lawns (they are maintained by a common landscape company) it's directed at people who have dogs who urinate - which is all of them.
It seems like all the retired people in the neighborhood have a excellent reason to be on the board but with a full time job and a kid I just don't have the time to put towards good faith governance of the neighborhood. Maybe that's the idea though - to get on the board and reduce their scope to paying the lawn care guys and collecting dues to pay the lawn care guys.
In before you get a fine for someone else's dog being on your lawn.
And this is reason 4779637, never to buy a home in a HOA....
I know this is more of a petty answer, but if the head of your HOA lives in the HOA and you know where, have your dog deliberately shit in their yard if there are no security cameras. Early in the morning, be sure to take pictures as proof there was a dog in their grass at some point.
If enough people in the area start doing it, the rule will either change or you can start complaining like Hell that the head is of HOA isn't following the rules and hope that changes things. If not, and you are willing to be locked away, arson on the HOA owners' home (if they live in the HOA) isn't a bad option either, assuming you start the fire in their bedroom so they can burn to death.
Salt is another one that destroys a lawn. And ground clear.
ah the Roman style. nice!
Unethical LPT is THAT way. Also, you forgot the piss disc
Leasehold is a con.
@iluminae raised platform with fake grass.
something like this seems doable in theory but without describing the community let's just say there is no spot to put this or any other 'dedicated dog spot', other than existing house's lawns or the one 40'x40' area which is the community green - and that totally is not going to happen.
You say you have a tiny backyard. What’s on the other side of the fence from your backyard?
