I get up early, my procedure is to turn on outside lights to run off any critters before I kept the dog out. At least I thought it would work. I let the dog out and went out with her the 1st time. About 30 min later she was by the sliding door and wanted to go out again. I turned the lights on and let her out, then I stepped back inside for my Fenix flashlight.
Just as I go out she darts off under our fruit trees, after something. I shine over and see her dancing around the adult skunk, 2 feet away. This goes on and on, no hope to call her off. I thought the skunk would run off our property. Instead it stayed inside our underground wire(dog fence) as 'Mya' chased it. I gave up and started my action plan, crate in the garage.
We also had relatives over, 2 kids and parents on their way to FL. I got the relatives on the road when they got ready and gave a hydrogen peroxide and doggy shampoo bath. It helped, we did another one today. Her head still has some skunk smell, but she's coming along. She is a 10 month old German Shepherd.
I have the live trap set. I'd love to get that varmint with my sighted in 17 HMR.
