we decided it was time for some impromptu milk bottle target practice in the vicinity (although firing AWAY from where the dog was). Loud bangs got the dog to make itself scarce and it hasn't come back that I've seen.
It's illegal to do that [shoot to kill the dog] in my state if the dogs aren't actively presenting a threat to people, pets, livestock, or wildlife. The previous ones were doing that, but these two new ones were not.
I like what you did here, given that this was the first time with this dog and it was not causing actual harm at the time.
