Admittedly this is for cats pissing but I'm sure you could scale up appropriately.
Fill the gaps in your fence, send the bill to the owners.
Post the poop back through their letter box with a note
"returning to sender x 🙂 "
Camp out in the garden lying in wait for said dogs, spray pepper up their nose.
Set of bombers?
Do all Aussies look like Pat Cash?
Would need to be combined with oldmanmtb's piss-filled super-soaker for maximum enjoyment.
I bought a motion activated sprinkler from amazon for about £20
it stopped the cats I was having the same problem with.
lasted about 18mths before it died, and I haven't yet replaced it, as the cats have learnt to avoid my garden.
once they start again, I will have no hesitation in getting another.
might not be this one, but looks more or less the same

Yeh, but when the dog needs the loo, it whines at the door, then gets let out to explosively decompress in the OP's back garden. A plan that literally backfires in the worst way possible.
We have similar problems, and also get fox and badger crap as well.
Suggestions to dissuade those beasts were to scatter chopped chilies over the area or shake/spray hot sauce around on the lawn. Haven't yet done that, but have (ahem) marked my territory (ahem) which appears to have reduced the incidences of random animal crappage...
Seriously, why don't you just block any gaps so they can't come through?
Or (not so seriously) get your own dog, like a Ridgeback so they don't stray over into his land.
Nah. Don't put up with that. Buy some see through freezer bags, pick up the doings and pop them politely but visibly on top of offenders' wheelie bins. They'll soon get the message.
When the dog you dont like triggers your lights take pics or videos and use these to speak to the owner and inform them if nothing is done you'll re approach GARDA (what is GARDA?)
what is GARDA?
Police force of Republic of Ireland, so they are.
Keep it simple. If you catch a dog doing it, bag the shit up, take it round to the neighbour, empty the bag by their front door and shout a bit. They'll soon get bored and deal with it.

I live in a small, picturesque village. We've new people who've moved in a few doors down and suddenly the pavement in our street is spattered with dog eggs all over the place.
If I identify the culprits' owners then I'm going to bag it up for them and post it through their letter box.
Actually, typing the above made me so angry that I've submitted a report to Fix My Street.
I'm now only a step away from subscribing to the Daily Mail and existing in perpetual rage at any anti-social behaviour, real or imagined.
In a previous house I delivered dog shits back to their owners a few times. Turd on the doorstep is a pretty clear message.
If you want to send a stronger signal then wiping the turd under the door handles of the owner's car.
Another alternative is to get the dogs to clean up after themselves. Big cheap bag of grated cheese from the supermarket, sprinkle liberally over turd. The theory is that the next dog to come along wolfs down the lot.
Ex next door neighbor decided our cat was to blame for all the crap in his garden, so bagged it and called round and handed it to my wife - on the day of her father's funeral.
Things escalated.
They've moved now.
Try and be diplomatic.
🙂
Be thankful it's dog poop and not some of the cat crap I've had to encounter. Funny how a dog owner can get a fine but a cat owner cant.
It wasn't our cat.
🙂
Soppy old thing used to crap in our garden.
[i]Funny how a dog owner can get a fine[/i]
I think that's only on public land though. They can crap in whoever's garden they like (well, their dogs can).

I totally agree. In my old house my neighbour had a cat that would shit in my garden every night. I asked him what he would do if I lifted a dog over his fence and allowed it to shit in his garden. He went nuts and said it was totally diferent as you can't control cats.
Obvious answer, don't own any animal that you can't control.
And why are horse owners allowed to let their animals dump on the pavement?
What bikebouy said..... try and get hold of some second hand electric fence/string off ebay. You'll only need it for a short while because once the dogs have been zapped once I can guarantee they won't be coming back so you could then sell it again!
(You can replace the electric string with normal string to put the frighteners on the dogs once the real stuff has gone.)
PIR sensor linked via a relay to a 12v car battery. The relay is attached to an electric car window winder which is in turn linked to a hozelock power activator and either a sprinkler (or in my case, the pressure washer).
Not a bad idea and would make a great project for a Raspberry Pi!

Would you argue with a horse?

Ban all pet cats?
i would simply shovel it up and deposit it on the offending neighbors car.
we had a neighbour's dog visit our garden a few times, each time it visited it just had a sniff around then left. but then it did a wee on the kid's trampoline. it didn't come back after I gave it a good boot up the arse.
true story.

You don't have any children then...
Ban all pet cats?
Ban all wildlife murdering, garden shitting, fighting and searching, self serving cats?
Okay then! Why not?
this but slightly bigger?
Wrap it in paper, put it on the owners drive and set fire to it. Ring bell and run off.
We went kitesurfing to Tarifa and stayed in a nice little hotel near the beach.
Every couple of days we would get the gear out, put it on the hotel lawns and with the manager's blessing we hosed the gear down and got the salt off it. Then a guest turned up in a motor home with two Alsatians that crapped everywhere on the lawns and he never cleaned up after them. We saved the crap up for a couple of days and then coated his windscreen and windows plus the inside of his door handles.
He got the message.
You know those curved ball throwing sticks that dog owners love?
Buy one . Load up with turds , launch at neighbours front door.
I would imagine the 'whump' of a good sized dog egg flattening itself against the door will give you a feel good feeling, but will also prompt the neighbours to open the door.
The ensuing ' Oh my friggin god , What the .... who would do such a thing .... You barstewards ...SHARON .... SHARON , get yourself out here now ... .. LOOK , Just look . Look There is turd all over the letterbox" would be worth filming, from a long , long way away
but will also prompt the neighbours to open the door.
At which point you can launch MOAT (Mother of All Turds) straight into the scum bunker.
DezB - MemberSeriously, why don't you just block any gaps so they can't come through?
Because I have hedge, stone wall, barbed wire fence and wooden fence and to sure up if that's the case. It's not practical.
I didn't mention in the op but the man who lives there doesn't technically own the dog. The lady who lives with him bought the house with her ex husband, and shortly after they moved out to the country their marriage hit the rocks. From what I can gather they were both paramedics and they seemed to use drink to cope with the stress of the job. Anyway the dog is apparently owned by either her ex husband who no longer lives there, or her adult son who no longer lives there. Both are apparently nasty pieces of work.
I'm not intimidated in the slightest by that but I'm also somewhat wary of maybe getting into any kind of acrimony which might lead to violence. I'd rather hit the dog in the arse with a ball bearing than strangle the owner.
Anyway thanks for all the suggestions, paint ball gun and even more likely catapult would seem to be the order of the day. Might mess around with catapulting paintballs filled with chilli sauce or something similar.
Given the additional information I’d suggest you put a lead on it and ring the RSPCA.
Do they have the RSPCA in Ireland?

It's a large aggressive dog which has been reported to the police multiple times. No thanks.

ISPCA. Same as the RSPCA but they charge you more.

The[url= http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/environment/animal_welfare_and_control/control_of_dogs.html ] council [/url]is probably a more appropriate point of call, the police would only get involved if the council or their agent is being obstructed.
Under the Control of Dogs Act 1986, as amended by the Control of Dogs (Amendment) Act 1992, local authorities are responsible for the control of dogs. They have the power to appoint dog wardens, provide dog shelters, seize dogs, impose on-the-spot fines and take court proceedings against owners.
Dogs should be licensed but if the 'owner' is absent then maybe this dog isn't. Simply by being unaccompanied when its shitting in your garden the dog would qualify as 'Stray' within the definition in the link above.
