*Several years ago, I had to deal with a similar situation. I was afraid
of this person, too. Soooo, I finally fenced the part of the property
that was not fenced, and ran a VERY hot wire through it. I heard a
giant yelp the first night I turned it on, and I never saw the dog
around my place again. A useful thing, as it also repels skunks and
other small varmints. I have seen just a single wire num low to the
ground, and it doesn't take long for a reasonably smart dog to figure
out he is not wanted there. Doris*
