Been thinking a bit on your problem. I think I might have come up
with a viable solution.
Moan a bit to a couple of neighbors about the dogs. Then video the
dogs at the garbage cans, documenting. Then use something like this,
with paintballs, still taping.
http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=194164 Not expensive,
definitely not lethal, limited range, not loud. Then, when the
neighbors complain about someone paintballing their pooches, possibly
calling the law on it, you can then, very innocently, hand over the tape
to the nice officers; and, depending on your mood, deny any knowledge
that those were our neighbors' dogs. If the dog(s) keep coming around,
a flast of those plastic BBs in the rear should move them on their way -
I'd keep a shotgun very handy thos, just in case one decided you were
being too unfriendly. Fun for shooting cans in the backyard too, or
even in the house.

Had a similar problem when I was a teen. We put laxatives in the
garbage with some pork chops. The neighbors had an indoor dog. We
made it public knowledge that we put laxatives in the trash. Our
garbage was only knocked over once after that.
Another alternative is to spray the dogs with "buck scent". It will
attract other males looking for a female bitch in heat. In the 80's, a
friend of mine sprayed his neighbors house with the stuff for calling
the pound on his dog that was in his own yard on his porch (but no
leash). Dogs came from miles. I'm not endorsing this, just a funny
story.

I think that would be about as smart as the teenagers that filmed them
selves as they broke into a store, and got caught with the film. There are
laws against shooting and or cruel treatment of animals. Yeah it is only a
paint ball but animals these days have more rights than humans. IMHO the
owners of the dogs would love for you to hand the nice policeman a tape of
you shooting his dog.

A couple drips of tiger piss on the carpet beneath the driver's seat
of his vehicle would do nicely, too.

Good idea, JT. Wouldn't you know, they're sold out!
I've bookmarked it for later.

Might be fun to play war games with as well.
But I don't think SWMBO would go for shotguns (or paintball guns)
being fired in the house. I'd end up.... in the dog house. <g>
Thanks, you're the greatest.
