I second that jmofaustin, spray paint can be irritating not only to the dog's skin, but also to it's eyes, mouth, and other sensitive body parts.
There is a black lab that wanders into my yard EVERY SINGLE DAY and he killed one of my rabbits last weekend, so I know how frustrating it is to have a maurauding dog running amok in the yard. And I know that spray painting is seen as more humane than shooting, but in the time it took to spray paint the dog and probably laugh about it, they could have found a better way to get their message across.
On that note: Bingo daubers are non-toxic and you could probably give the dog a nice polka-dotted clown look without necessarily harming it.
