I have walked in dog poop more times than I can count and am tired of it. I have cameras in the back of my house so I have video. I am curious if there is anything that can be done? They have the whole front of their house and they could take the dog out to the front of their house but they don't. It is not just the dog who is in my yard they come in my yard as well when they let the dog out. BTW their property is not in deed compliance but I have never filed a complaint because I have always gotten along well with my neighbors but my patience is wearing thin. Any thoughts?

You say that the dog owners walk into your yard uninvited. That is downright un-neighborly. They say that 2 wrongs don't make a right, but a Red Rider BB gun used covertly might be an option. The BBs are traveling at low velocity and if it hit the dog in the rear end, it would not break the skin. Other options would be to throw fireworks or set up mouse traps, which would snap and startle the dog. A small air horn like used to scare bears away could startle the dog. And dogs have very sensitive hearing. A water cannon with a little bit of ammonia in it might work. Use of bear spray would keep it away.
.........The is also products sold at hardware stores that the smell keeps deer and raccoons away. It has a name like "critter-ritter".
