Yes. Use the techniques first investigated scientifically by the late
lamented Professor Pavlov. Let the damn pooches learn that hassling
wasps isn't clever. Wasps are not aggressive, and will ignore dogs
that don't actually try to dig the nest up. Any normal dog will learn
that, PDQ.

If the dogs are as thick as Odie in the Garfield comic strip, replace
them by something brighter.
