Clarissa-
A few years back I had an identical problem. A neighbor who walked
her dog every morning. For some reason her dog chose a corner of my
lawn to do it's regular dump, every single day.

I gritted my teeth and stayed silent for weeks. Then one morning, I
just couldn't handle it any more, and yelled out the window that I was
sick and tired of her dog crapping on my lawn. She yelled back that
the dog was only doing what was natural. I told her to have her dog
to naturally crap in her yard instead, or be curteous enough to clean
up after it.

She huffed off mad, but has never returned to this side of the street
to walk her dog again! Sometimes silence isn't golden!
