There are several products I've seen at my local pet store (such as SEP - called Stop Eating Poop). Other names are Forbid or Deter. These are chemical solutions to spray or put on the poop so your dog isn't drawn to eating it. Basically the main ingredient is glutamic acid which causes the poop to become bitter to taste and your dog stops eating it.
If you feel uncomfortable buying a product in store you can visit your vet for a prescription for glutamic acid or other such clinically proven pills which will do the trick. These items can cost a little more but usually stop the problem immediately and give you some peace of mind instead of following your dog around with cayenne pepper and pineapple all day long. Of course, the dogs we know who have been on a prescription have had to stay on it for quite some time. When they stopped taking the pills they started eating cat poop again.
TEACH THEM NOT TO! This is the best way. Smack them on the butt or yell at them when they do it. That did the job with my dogs.

M$If you watch your dog when it's outside, you can train it to not eat the feces if you correct it after it's spotted it. Walking your dog on leash in your garden may provide the opportunity to curb the behavior. Remember that you need to catch the dog in the act (or thinking of the act immediately beforehand) for any correction to be effective. Punishing the dog after the fact will just confuse it.
There are a variety of chemicals you can spray on the cat feces to make them less attractive, but this won't change the behavior, as the dog will likely eat any uncontaminated ones it can find.

You might also try visiting your local pet store and asking them about training supplies or ask their advice on the situation.
I have a cat as well. She poops inside in the litter box. Maybe that's what you should do. My vet's technician also told me that a cat's lifespan increases dramatically when they are kept strictly indoors.
If all else fails, I'm not sure about your ethical opinions of a shock collar or electrical fence, but those may be options as well.
