I did two things in regard to dogs crapping on my lawn.

First we raked up all the crap and spread it along the sidewalk. It was huge windrow on a long sidewalk. That (humiliation) worked for awhile.

after awhile I set my sprinklers to start every day at about 4 am and run for a good while. Evidently the dogs preferred the neighbors dry grass to my wet grass, as it nearly elimated the problem for me.

Not a perfect solution, that would have involved a shotgun.

No sidewalks. I shovel it out on the street where the crap factories and their owners walk, but that doesn't seem to bother them. No sprinklers, besides they come by all hours of the day or night.

Back on the barking topic. I have a neighbor who has a continuous yapper. Periodically, someone will put in a complaint (not me - I don't want to be on the record if someone actually does something to the obnoxious thing). She then keeps the vile animal in the house for 30 days and you don't hear a peep out of it, but then she puts it out again and the noise starts all over again. As it turns out, you have to have two complaints within 30 days for the dog to be declared a public nuisance animal (which the county will destroy.) So it's obvious that the aforementioned neighbor is a complete jerk. She KNOWS just what a wretched nuisance her precious wecious puppikins is, and just couldn't care less.
