There probably is a leash law, meaning all dogs must be kept on a leash. Document every time you find poop in your yard and report it every time. Sooner or later, animal control will get sick of you calling and sending letters and will do something about it. I agree, call animal control.

I assume you have explained to them that having poop in your yard is not acceptable to you. A cheaper solution is to try these 2 things. 1. Get some 1.5 or 2 liter soft drink bottles, and put them in your yard. I don't know why but dogs stay away from them. Just take an empty 1 1/2 litre or 2 litre soft drink bottle (clear plastic) take off any wrappers and fill it with water. Put it out on the lawn to see if it works... When your neighbor complains about how bad they look, explain to them how much you hate poop, and if they keep the dogs out of your yard, then the bottles can go. 2. Remove scent from the area with soap and water. spray 1/3 dishwashing detergent and 2/3 water solution over the yard. I have also heard that this will work by removing the dog scent, and they won't think it is ok to poop there. These are both inexpensive, and easy to try. Good luck. EDIT: I noticed a lot of people telling you to do stuff like put hot peppers in the yard or poison. I assume your kids are int he yard, so don't do anything that would prohibit them from playing there. No reason for them to be punished because of the dogs. You could try this:=

I would also leave the poop on her front porch. That neighbor is just being rude and inconsiderate. The owner putting leashes on her pets is the only way to keep them out of your yard.

What you can do is sue the guy for you having to clean up crap... property damage... Did not work for me so I took like a crap load of salmon and threw it in my neighbors ditch (overgrown with weeds) right by his porch.. Summertime must suck for him... he cant even sit on his porch ..paybacks are hell... I bet his wife is out there with douches and a garden hose trying to figuring out what the smell is coming from......ahahaha Not really.. but I had the same problem.. called the police, humane society all that good stuff.
