well, I don't think it's rude to ask someone to keep their dogs out of your yard. If you go and confront her about what she should be doing differently or telling her her dogs are a nuiscance, that would be rude. It's your property, and, you shouldn't have to worry about another person's dog being on it. My neighbor's kids were always leaving their bikes and toys and stuff all over my yard, and, I went to her and asked if she could ask her kids not to play in our yard. She wasn't offended, but, she also didn't keep them out of our yard for more than two days. I dont' know how you want to handle it if she says she will and doesn't, but, I do know that when her kids left four bikes in my yard, the bikes magically ended up in the street. (it's not a busy road, just a paved road in the mobile home park) She never let them play in the yard again, though. But, it just depends on how important it is to you not to have her pets in your yard. And, besides, it's way more rude of her to let her dog do that than it would be to ask her not to.
