    You mentioned nothing has worked for you, however you did not state what you have tried.

    What kind of dog is it? If it is a giant dog, it should chase off the deer.

    Irish Spring soap. Hang it in a net or whatever around where you don't want the deer.

    You probably already know that a really high fence will do the trick, but an 8 to 10-foot tall fence is expensive and not exactly aesthetically pleasing to most of us. I belong to several gardening groups where this has been discussed exhaustively, and people have reported that things such as Irish Spring soap, various predator urines (including human), and repellants do not work. One thing that was mentioned was that deer will not cross a double barrier. In other words, if you have two fences, or a fence and a dense hedge, that are too wide for the deer to jump, OR if there is just enough space between them for the deer to jump over one and land between them, the deer will not get beyond both. So if you already have a fence, you could plant a dense hedge, or vice versa. Hope this is helpful.
