Decoying the squirrels away from a bird feeder with a post-mounted corn cob feeder is effective as well, reducing the need to hurl imprecations.

I have a hummingbird feeder in my back yard, and my poor old hound dog could never decide if they were permitted to feed or not. Any sort of game bird and he knew his role, but feisty little things that zipped and zoomed befuddled him. He'd watch them come feed, sneak up, and jump up to see what they were doing, with the end result of hummingbirds yelling swear words at him.
