It amazes me how rude people (even adults) can be about this sort of thing. We had the same problem in Chicago, even though we already had fences in place. They had to open two gates to walk through from the front to the alley in back. Worse, they would leave the gates open all the time, so we couldn't let our dogs out without going to check the gates, neither of which was visible from the back door. It was finally solved by putting a lock on the back gate and "Beware of Dog" signs on both gates.
