Also, a small front yard doesn't seem like an ideal situation for you or your neighbours. I know my neighbours used to let their dogs crap on the front lawn and it was pretty disgusting if they didn't take care of it right away. The backyard is different because it's out-of-sight but unless you're picking up the crap right away it will piss of your neighbours. Think about what you'll do when it's -30 and you're picking up crap on your front lawn.

The only time it would be crapping in my yard is if for some reason I didn't have time to walk it 30 seconds to the park.
I have had dogs stay at our house before and its been fine. I'm not too worried.
