From another list:



I read one time where a guy always had trouble with a couple of dogs
that would tip his garbage
can over. He laid a large piece of chicken wire on the ground around
the garbage can and hosed
the ground down so it was good and wet. He hooked the chicken wire to
the hot side of a extension
cord that he plugged in and later heard the dogs yelping like mad.
They were dancing on the wire but
couldn't get away. He unplugged the wire and the dogs never came back.

Another fellow had an old Model T that he would take out once a month
and drive about four or five
miles an hour around a couple of blocks in a small town north of me.
One dog in particular always
had to chase him barking and snapping at one tire for the full trip.
He wrapped a piece burlap around
the tire and the next trip around the dogs teeth got hung up in the
burlap. he could see it happen in
his side view mirror so he stopped after the dog made two or three
flips and that ended the dog from
chasing him anymore.
