Yelping and run back through yelping.
The other problem is it doesn't stop other dogs from coming into the yard and possibly attacking the dog that lives there.

Our yard is fenced, 1 acre (we live rural) with a woven wire fence. One of our Newfies figured out he could dig under. We put a hot wire 8 inches (above ground, like you would use for livestock but lower) from the fence all the was around 5 years ago. Now no one goes close to the fence.
The combination worked great for us but without the 5 foot woven wire fence the would have jumped that hot wire.
