Long those lines, how do you get neighbors to stop letting their fucking dogs roam free and shit in your yard? I fucking hate that shit. It's passive aggressive and disrespectful. I can't mow the lawn with out having to dodge these bombs and I have to warn my kids to look out for some asshole's dog shit in our yard.
My base solution will start with collecting Trump signs after the election and putting a makeshift "D" over the "Tr" and adding a upper part asking people to not let their dog Dump in our yard. Unfortunately there's enough Trump supporters in the area that it'll cause a stink...maybe they'll start shitting in our yard as well...

Put up a fence. And call animal control every single time the dogs are roaming free. Paying a fine to get the dogs back adds up quickly.
I'd second this. Those things are probably mostly snake oil.I wouldn't waste my money on one of those things unless you can get it back, 100% w/o incurring shipping or return charges. I know a couple people who've bought those in the past and they didn't work.
Talk to your neighbor
look up your local noise ordinances as many cover this type of situation & contact the po po if your neighbor doesn't remedy the issue. A fine for violating the noise ord is a good motivator but you're also risking a little neighborhood war
Dang. our closest neighbor is roughly 3 feet away, but those 3 feet are essentially all brick, so I can't hear anything that goes on over there.Our closest neighbor is roughly 500 yards away. I can hear their dog yapping all night, but it's so far away I can barely hear it.
I cannot stand the never-ending, ceaseless "barkbarkbarkbarkbarkbark" all night long. I don't know how the dog's owners live with it. When my lab starts this shit, I get up, go to the back door and tell him the shut the hell up, and thankfully he does.

As far as people who let their dogs roam free, dealing with their dogshit is bad. Finding your cat's carcass is way worse.
Here's the thing, we never see them, we just find their shit. I leave at about 6am and get home between 5:30-6pm, my wife is out the door at about 8am and doesn't get home until 4pm at the earliest. These remove the use of the BB/pellet gun (which also wouldn't go over well with anyone, including me) or calling animal control. We rent, so I'm not going ask about or bother fencing anything.
Most of the folks seem good with their dogs. The only culprit that I can potentially point to (I was gonna say finger, but that just sounds wrong...thanks a lot Trump!) is this older guy that rides around on his bike with at least one dog running along/near him. I've only seen him once, but it's also the only time I seen dogs in the area (that haven't "escaped") running freely in the area.
I'm not a big dog person, but not a hater either. That said, I've literally had enough of this shit and am finding both animals involved extremely annoying. Cat at least hide their shit (unless sick or angry). Dogs just drop it anywhere and shitty owners that won't pick it up deserve to eat it...seriously.
