    What I have found to be very effective are little cap-type devices.  They
are sold under various names, such as "Fun Caps", "Finger Snaps", etc.  They
look like little twisted tissue-paper thingamajigs, and when enough pressure
is applied, like hitting the ground, they go off with a semi-loud bang.  It
should be easy to find them at flea markets.
    When throwing them, get enough in your hand to lay down a nice pattern in
front of the dog.  It really shocks most dogs, unless it is used to hearing
lound bangs that don't seem to have a cause.
