O.K, after reading all these fine ideas I guess I'de have to pick the sling shot and as it turns out, I'm great with one. BUT, unlike some of you, I don't stand, sleep or gaurd my truck 24hrs a day. Fencing it in would look kinda funny driving down the road and impossible to wheel with. 00 buck would be my choice if I lived outside city limits. I'de like to have some choice's that don't require my attention every time a dog walks by. No matter where I go, there's a dog sending a PM via my tires. Hell, even my Boss's dog gets his share of tire time every day at work. So fencing,shotguns,even slingshots are not options most of the time. Come on guys, /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif /forums/images/icons/smile.gif /forums/images/icons/grin.gif /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

First, I would video tape the animal doing the act. That way you have proof. I doubt the dog catcher is willing to do a DNA test off of the tire. Next I would call Galls and order a Mark 5 oleoresin capsicum (pepper spray) (the mark 5 is big and has good distance, and is also the strongest consentrate of cayun pepper). Then I would blast the little bastard until it screamed. Spray a little on your tire after that and after a painful recovery if the animal decides to return that will give it a vivid flashback and get rid of the thing.
You can also cue up the tape on your VCR and call the dog catcher over to show him his/her next victom. It would also be handy to know where the owners of the dog live.
The pet stores have a product called "NO". It is a training spray that repells animals from areas. You may give that a shot.

I'd becareful with using a paintball gun since the paint will be left on the dog and the owner can figure out who has the guns and not.

The dog will more than likely lick the paint off. If not then the owner may come to your door, show him the above mentioned video and explain the next audiance will be the cops and dog catcher.

My grandpa used to wash his tires with ammonia.. The dogs can't stand the smell and won't mark there territory..
I've found a pack of blackcats is pretty effective except you always hafta scrape up that last steaming pile of "scared shitless" left behind /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif . Dunno why you wouldn't want to call the dog catcher as per mj. It's only his job.

Not quite what grandpa would use (unless he was an electrical engineer) but you could build something similar to this http://www.personalarms.com/schematics.htm and put the leads far enough apart so they won't arc, one on the ground next to your tire and one stuck on the rubber part of your tire. Leave it on until you hear the yelp of a dog getting his "chestnuts" roasted /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif . Should be pretty effective. Just a thought...
Well I got a ticket for setting of a potato luncher in city limits. I was charged with Assalt. We use to have fight with the car dealer next door to use and we had just finished a new gun when I sent a tennis ball into the wall. A cop saw the thing go of and came over. It was funny when we went to court and they read the charge and I should the gun. We did have a spark plug as an ignition agent. 12 volt battery. Tim Allen Special.
Predator urine on the tires (usually something like a wolf). Many hunting supply stores carry it for flushing out animals, and yard/garden stores sell it to keep unwanted animals/vermon out of flowers and crops. Just apply to rubber portion of tires (not on the metal of the rims), and 99% of your problem will be gone. Only drawback is re-application after a storm, vehicle wash, and/or long elapsed time.
