Sorry, I can't believe you think an owner can train a dog where to Pee. That is totally unrealistic expectations for even the most well behaved dog. You on the other hand may be better off moving into a community or building where they don't allow dogs. Why aggravate yourself?
You, on the other hand, will be better off moving into a dog-owners-only community where YOUR dogs STAY in YOUR own world.
Bizarre how those who inflict their indulgences on others play victim. YOUR animal is inflicting itself on others. Some others may not care much, but nobody actually wants other people's dogs using their property as bathroom. It is obvious that too many dog owners themselves do not want their own dogs using their own yards as bathrooms. And yet they wonder what the anger is about.
Well, speaking for myself, as a dog owner and trainer, I believe the OP has the right to expect the husky owner to restrain the husky and keep the pee of their lawn and property. I have, in the past, BEEN that rude dog owner - but I did not mean to be rude. When I was confronted, the confrontation was, well, confrontational! E.g. hostile. And I did not react well, either. Kinda like the husky owner. But that home owner was in his rights, and I was wrong. I don't worry too much about dog pee - but regular urination in one spot can kill plants - and if a neighbor doesn't like dogs - or doesn't like MY dogs, I do try to keep the dogs out of their yard. Sometimes we have small transgressions, but we do manage to limit them.
OP - good luck, stay strong, and carry on. I'm posting this because so many of the repliers seem to think it's ok to use your lawn for a doggy bathroom.
Last night a women who lives in my development was walking her beautiful large Husky. She proceeded to let the dog urinate on my front yard, near a tree and a flower bed.
I just wonder how these people would feel if I deposited about a pint of urine on their front yard and flowers.
Opinions, please.
Here's the law in our city.

Sec. 6-36. - Restraint requirements. (j)
Any person walking or owning an animal is required to clean up any waste deposited by the animal on public property or the private property of anyone other than the property of the animal's owner.
