This is what I would do too. It wouldn't be hard to build a short fence (2-3 feet high maybe) 'around' the trees on your side of the fence, that wouldn't detract from their side of the fence.
And I would just (as nicely as possible) explain what happened and that your concerned about your dog getting out, if they can't understand that then that's their problem, as pet owners themselves I'm sure they will understand.
I don't know if you own or rent, if you rent you may want to clear it with the landolord first then they won't have anything to say about it. if you own, then I would imagine that you can do anything you want to your side of the fence.
