When I was a kid we had a pack of dogs in the neighborhood that
would dump trash cans over.  I went and
bought an ignition ("spark") coil for a model T -- the kind that had
a buzzer-type interrupter -- and connected it to our garbage can
and our mailbox pole, with a piece of plexiglass under the can.

Well, the dogs no longer dumped our cans over.  A couple learned
not to wet on the cans, nor, for that matter, on anything at all for a
few weeks.  I can't recommend this for the lawn soiling problem
but it is a good note to stuff in your copy of "The Anarchists Cookbook".

Note that this will not harm the dog given the proper limiting resistors
are employed.  While the voltage is very high, the current is *very* low.
