I tried coyote urine. My former husband "marked" our driveway every evening. We've always had dogs. Nothing worked until we put up seven feet high plastic mesh around about one acre of our seven acres. A buck broke through once and this spring, because of some downed trees, a doe was able to leap, very elegantly, over the fencing.

Good luck.
