I recall hearing a similar system being used to chase geese away from airport runways. The dog has a great time and the geese don't get sucked into jet engines. It's win-win.
This kind of thing is why I think robot dogs are the stupidest type of robot for humans to focus on making, dogs already exist and most work dog breeds want a role to play to feel like they contribute to their pack, they are an amazingly adapted animal capable of easily learning.

It'd be so much fun to watch the seagull patrol.
Seems like a great candidate for streaming.
Strap a Go-Pro to the dogs for a great FPV of them at work.

These guys have been doing this for years. They are the best dogs.
