We end up with dog poop in our yard.

I'd like to put pour something on it that would break it down/compost it (even if it took a month). I'd rather not have to pick it up :) Bonus points if there's something simple with active microbes to hasten the process.

Any suggestions?

According to https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/composting/manures/dog-waste-in-compost.htm, dog feces is difficult to compost because it contains parasites that can be harmful. You would maintain a temperature of 165F or 73C for 5 days in order to kill them.

It is recommended that you mix it with 1 part sawdust to 2 parts feces, cover with black plastic and leave in the sun.
