The poor street dogs don't understand commands at all ( all they have ever heard is words of abuse) and are suckers for the art of mime. If confronted draw back your arm with an imaginary stone in you hand and make any sort of loud noise. The result is a hasty retreat with tail between legs!
Always worked for me.
My late departed Rambo knew all the basic commands in both English and Indonesian, but he was a sucker for mime too.
