In Thailand street dogs have learned to fear the sound of an electric tazer.

I used to live there and always carried one with me, just to activate it was enough to scare them off.

I remember once being awake at night, sick with some flu, and a street dog just would not stop barking. I hear a gate/window open, a tazer activates and the dog stops. So this was just a guy sticking his hand out a window and activating the tazer to get the dog to shut up.

It's a hard life out there for those dogs.

Also in most such countries if you pick up a rock as if to throw it at them it scares them off as the locals often throw rocks quite effectively.
