In some rural areas dogs are used as guard dogs. When one goes walking (not on private property) these dogs often warn with a growl to stay off their property. Postal carriers etc walk with a significant stick and in an immediate attack scenario, use rocks too. Most dogs back off except, highly trained ones. But it is self defense. I wouldn’t categorize using your lawn as a personal attack. In my opinion, it is not the dog, it is the owner you need to train.
