low tech rules. . . . .
the urine idea usually works around your property and putting it in a spray bottle keeps you from alarming the neighbors during application
An old fashioned wrist rocket slingshot with a marble in the pouch usually takes care of the dog problem. Also, dogs are completely unnerved by the sound of a bull roarer and will vacate the area immediately.

Most people won't know what that is, but it's an interesting method, have to get one and try it sometime.
Bodyslams work good also.

use a pump-up pellet rifle about 5-6 pumps and a flat-nose 'target' pellet. that will get their attention more than a BB gun.

I'm a die hard hunter, not exactly an animal activist, but I'm also a dog owner. I'm really surprised at the number of people advocating shooting at a dog in these threads. My dogs are very well conditioned to stay in my yard, but they have wandered from time to time into my neighbor's yard, as my neighbor's dogs have done into mine.
Scare them away. Bang some pots together. It doesn't take much. But don't shoot at someone's dog -- with anything! If someone shot one of my dogs (in the eye, for example) with a paintball because they wandered off after a rabbit or something, they would be visited by the friendly neighborhood sheriff's deputy.
Get a grip.

Any idiot advocating shooting a dog with a pellet gun needs their head examined.If animal control wont deal with the problem and a dog is doing something that merits shooting it,shoot the dog and get it over with permanently.Be prepared to face the consequences afterward.
I say speak to the owner. Times have changed. Used to be a day that if a dog wandered onto your land it could be shot (rightfully or wrongly). At that time, a dog was a dog. Nowadays, dogs are considered by some to be on an even level to humans...family. And yes, I know of one "gentleman" who went to prison for killing the guy who kicked his dog.

If you know where they live you should spend a few bucks and have a lawyer send a letter to each owner making whatever kind of scary legal threats he can come up with. You will be doing the whole neighborhood a big favor.

I really can't believe that some of you advocate shooting another persons pet that does not pose a threat to you. Of course you have a right to defend yourself from a threatening dog and a duty to protect your family. However, if you're having a problem with a dog pooping on your lawn or ripping through your garbage that is completely different. Be a man and talk to the owner if you know who's animal it is.
If that doesn't solve the problem, file a complaint and have the animal picked up by animal control.
You wouldn't like the result it if I was on the jury when you came up for for cruelty to animal charges, discharging a firearm illegally, or wreckless endangerment charges. Good luck with the "that golden retriever had me fearing for my life" argument.
Oh yeah, and remember, that pet owner may not take the high road either if some kind of harm comes to their pet and they know who's responsible.

If a strange dog comes onto my property and acts aggressively toward me or any family member, I'm going to shoot it with either a BB gun or pellet gun in its torso. If, on the other hand, it's not bothering anything or anybody, a stern "GO HOME!" will usually cause it leave.
Just put up a fence
are you kidding me I'm a dog lover I have 3 and if someone shoot my dogs with anything (if they got out) there would be some major issues
Now I agree it is the owners fault not the dogs so call the owners or go to there house and talk to them. Gt the dog warden involved.
If you put up a fence problem solved. I think all dog owners should fence in there yard...it not only keeps the dogs in it keeps other animals out esspecially harmful ones
