The problem isn't the poop which can easily be cleaned up by responsible pet walkers, but rather the urine which burns out the grass and cannot be cleaned up. I echo the recommendation for dog owners to have their dogs poop and pee in their own yards before walking them. We have two large dogs and that is what we do out of respect for our neighbors.
