Don't do anything to the dog.
If you do your setting yourself up for trouble.
If you pepper spray it, hit it with paint balls , or anything like that your neighbor would have cause to press legal charges. Yeah it sucks the way the laws set up, but it doesn't matter if its on your property, by law you still can't do anything to the dog.

I found this out the hard way.
The only way you can do anything to the dog is if its in self defense.
Get a camera and when the dog is on your property doing the things listed take pics. Then call the local animal control and provide them with the pics and file a complaint.

That is what the animal control told me to do.
They will contact the owner, first with a warning.
Then if the dog does it again they will fine them for every time the dog enters your yard.

Take pics each time.

My neighbor wised up after the second fine of 150.00

I want the back-story for the bolded part.

All of these suggestions for methods to kill or injure the animal used to be automatic grounds for time off. Obviously things have changed around here.

Where's the fun in that?

Tie a wild skunk up in the yard. Now that would be funny.

Scoop up the dog poo and splat it against your neighbour's window.

But the best suggestion is to do what Modelworks said.

I just put up a little fence from HomeDepot cause my dogs were going into the nieighbor's yard everyday.
