Speaking of this, what would be the best solution to keep the neighbors dogs (3 of them) off my yard? They constantly "mark their territory" and crap all over the place. I call the cops and they just never show up, and even if they did, by the time they mosey their way over, the dogs are long gone and it's just my word against the hick neighbor's.

Anyway, I want something that can hurt, but not kill, these animals. Something that won't break the skin, but if pelted with enough of them, the dogs will get the hint. I killed a dog a while back while riding my bike on the street. It kept biting at my heels and I got angry andput too much force into the kick (tried to compensate for the lack of power from a seated position). The dog flew and didn't get back up; all while the ower was watching. I did warn them a number of times. I felt bad about that since it was really the owner's fault, not the dog.

I don't want to spend a ton of cash, just something easy/fast to use that isn't lethal, yet gives them the message.
