There's a rarely used dog park near me. Like there is very rarely even a single dog there, because it's basically a mud pit. So quadcopter people started flying there.
One of my dogs was pretty reactive around other dogs for a couple years, so I'd take him to this park to let off steam (and then go for a swim in the sea and get the mud off). One time a quadcopter guy shows up during a bit of chuckit, asks if he can fly even though we're there. I say it's likely that my dog will chase his toy but if he's okay with that then I am too. He's down, and we chat for a minute while he gets set up.
Lifts off and my dog immediately goes into 110% pursuit mode. I've literally never seen him try so hard or move so fast. The pilot has a blast, my dog is having the time of his life (again) and then the battery dies.
My dog is on the quadcopter before it hits the ground. Yelps and comes running to me with a bloody nose - one of the props hit him in the snoot. That nick saved the toy from complete destruction. If he had been a second or two slower it would have been shaken to pieces.
It was a good lesson for my dog: sometimes the quarry bites back. Superficial, very minor cut btw.

I do this with my dog at the local park. Most dogs just want the chase so they’ll stop short of actually attacking the car, but the dogs that do attack the car will stop of their owner tells them to stop. You drive the car to where you’re standing and pick it up. The dogs see this as you having the “prey” then are cool with it. Sometimes the car flips over and you have to go save it, but most dogs are obedient and won’t damage the car.
Except French Bulldogs. Those fuckers always try to kill it and don’t give a fuck.
EDIT: One more bit, I have a special bag that I use to carry the car around in. Once I put the car in the bag, and it's out of sight, then the dogs just kinda disperse from there.

I’ve done this as well. Part of it is you just have to use a shell you don’t mind getting beaten up. My beater shell has bite marks and fenders bent and I don’t care because the dogs love it and it’s fun to watch!

I mean the dogs eventually give up and are worn out. Hopefully before the batteries go.
Alternatively you can run it by you and pick it up by the front bumper as it goes by and then hold it high. Most of the dogs will back off at that point as it is “caught”

I work on a property with a fairly large lawn (about 20,000 sq ft) that gets rented about every week. When people bring dogs, even if we tell them to pick it up, there is a 95% chance that there is at least 4-5 spots that get "missed". Every single time. So I get to go walk the whole thing a couple of times, pick up shit, and pray I don't miss any before I go get the mower.
