Another method I've heard recommended is to obtain some lion dung from
your local zoo and spread it along the outer perimeter.
This is purported to keep all dogs and cats far away.

I think that solution is worse than the problem.

Why? Sounds like it would work fine to me, and nobody gets hurt.

Not that OP is really gonna go get some but I doubt it would work. We have
occasional mountain lions where I live and my dogs go and pee can poop right
on their droppings (easily recognizable by the size and the footprints next
to them) to "reclaim" their territory.

OP didn't say why he won't talk to the dog owner but my experience was that
even the lowliest, deranged, degenerate gang-member type will try to keep
his dogs out of your yard. I had gang-members move in next door and their
dogs (pit bulls) ate through the fence and hung out (and crapped) in my back
yard. They immediately went about reinforcing the fence etc even though
they continuned to play loud boom-boom music and sell drugs in front of my
house.

I posted previously what I did to keep cats from crapping on my front lawn
but I don't know where the post went.

I bought a motion detector light for about $10 and ran wires from one of the
light sockets to a relay which activated my automatic sprinklers when it
detected anything moving on my lawn. I had it set to stay on for 5 minutes.
No more cat poop.
