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".
I like the BB gun. For the dog owner, not the dog. The air horn would also startle all the other neighbors in the area.
Also, OP said the neighbor "let their dog out". Dog must be off leash, I think.
