is there something to do that will make dogs not want to poop in my yard?

Answer 1

Chopped grapefruit peels is the only thing I have found that works for dogs, and I have had success with that. I chop them up pretty small so they will sift into the grass and not make the yard look messy.
Spray the area with a dish washing liquid in water to wash the odor off, and rinse it off by watering well, then scatter the chopped peels all over the yard. I would start at the street edge, and scatter them for about 4 or 5 feet into the yard. If that didn't stop it, and they were going past the peels and dropping, then scatter them further into the yard.
.
There are also motion detection sprinklers I think it's called a scarecrow. The negative side of it is, if a person gets too close to it, it could go off too. Here's a link. http://www.gardeners.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-Gardeners-Site/default/ViewProductDetail-SellPage?OfferID=11336&SC=

There are also some sort of pellets or powders you can use to keep pests off your lawn, just read the label.
Hope some of these methods bring you some relief.

Answer 2

You can either erect a fence, or what I do is NOT harmful to the pet, but they DON'T return to my lawn & beds.

I take a spray bottle and fill it with WHITE VINEGAR, when a cat or dog wee wees or doodles in my yard or beds, I spray them with it. They HATE the smell! You can ALSO spray it on garbage bins and bags to keep them from tearing out your trash. If they are still a problem either call a No Kill place like [the Humane Society] in your area, or you can talk to the owners and tell them their pets are destroying your lawn, and you'd like to be a good neighbor and tell them BEFORE you call someone to do something about it.

Answer 3

A fence with closed gate will generally stop unwelcome visitors but if that's not possible try citronella. Dogs (so its said) don't like citrus smells and you can buy citronella based sprays or pellets from nursery's but you have to redo it after each rain.
Having said that my mut came from the pound and thinks its a beaver- it literally eats trees and much to the amusement of the vet (who also recommended citronella) she actually loves citronella and is partial to the occasional mandarin or orange!
Good luck
