You like pitting animal against animal. I have a friend that does it in a suburban setting and I kid him about it. Squirrels are very smart and quick
The dogs are just what they are.
The deer just pass through and are not really an issue. The squirells just need to stay out of hte house.
The chipmunks (and mice) are really the purview of the cat.
The ground hogs are hell on the garden and if the dogs can catch them, the local biome is better off.
