I has a similar problem with a neighbor and his dog some years ago. He simply would not control his dog. It barked all night (chained up to the side of the house - no fence), ran free all day, crapped in everyone's yards, and was a general nuisance. I talked to him about the dog a couple of times. I finally told him if it shows up in my yard again, I would shoot it. He thought I was kidding. I wound up shooting his dog.

Unfortunately, in this society, you must worry about someone coming back at you. If you jack up a neighbor about something, next thing you know, your car is key'ed, etc. Or, they get a lawyer/police and say they've been assaulted, etc. It's a different world these days. Confronting d-bag neighbors never really corrects the matter...just turns them into bigger d-bags.
Now, as far as shooting a dog, not sure where you live, but that would get you a felony conviction here (unless the dog was attacking), so it's not a viable answer for this situation.
Years ago when I lived in the city, there was a meat distribution business (wholesaler) nearby. They must have had some sort of silent device on the property to keep animals away (pest control?). Everytime I walked my dog within 50' of that business, he would freeze in his tracks and try to back-pedal away from it. There must be some sort of ultrasonic device that causes dogs discomfort.
