I get the goose thing. In college for XC practice, we'd sometimes do repeat miles around a local lake with lots of geese. At least one person got bit every time, sometimes multiple. They're suprisingly fast.
A goose is a wild animal but could be a protected species. Make sure you know what you're dealing with first. If it's a Canadian Goose, you should be fine to whack it with a stick. They back off when that happens.
Dogs? That can be tougher. If you harm the dog on the owner's property, you could be liable for the injuries. Not all dogs are rational creatures, and their idea of what is a threat does not have to match yours. But if you want to keep the dog away without harming it, we need more information.
