Hi there and thank you for this question.
This is a common issue; dogs love the taste of cat poo as it is quite high in protein.
I'd get a litter tray with a roof in this situation, if your cat can use this.
Ideally, we would have the trays in different rooms, to avoid competition.
Cleaning poos right away will also discourage the dog from accessing them, and he should soon get bored when they are always empty.
