Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love dogs. Have a couple of
pound muts now, and have had many in my life. When dogs are out with
their owners I have a hard time not asking to socialize with them.

But, when we lived in town, there was an owner up the street that
couldn't keep its dog in his yard. The dog would get picked up by the
humane society four or fives times a year. One of the dogs favorite pass
times was coming down and antagonizing my dogs behind their properly
working fence.

My solution to this was to stand at the door with my painball gun on
Friday afternoons and procede to "mark" the dog with hot pink paint as
it entered my yard. When questioned about this by the neighbor my reply
was, "do you really think that I came down to your house, a block away,
and painted your dog in your backyard over your fence?"

The dog quit coming by too, paintballs hurt a little.
