When I was a kid living in Western KY, people would come out "to the 
country" to dump dogs they didn't want or had grown too large for the 
city. They would form into packs. We raised cattle. Dog packs don't mix 
with cattle so about twice a year we had to go "dog hunting." It was not 
my favorite thing to do but it had to be done and we got quite good at it.

We never had any issues with neighbors dogs - most were bird dogs and I 
don't think bird dogs are prone to chase cattle or run in packs. But the 
dogs dropped off we always had trouble with. The best thing is if your 
animal is bothering a neighbor - keep the animal away from the neighbor. 
In most states if an animal is on your property and bothering your 
person or livestock, you have the perfect right to eliminate the problem.

I agree with Ed if you have to do that, make sure the animal just 
disappears from the face of the earth. Many times people move to the 
country and think they have the right to let their dog run wild. Most of 
them will respond when you inform them that their dog is being a 
problem. Some won't and in my part of the world those that won't tend to 
be looking for a new dog. The locals that have lived her forever just 
won't put up with it.
