If the dog is not on your property, and is being a nuisance to neighbors, then your best option is to retrieve the animal and apologize.

Re: Dogs being shot
The law considers dogs to be chattel, not members of your family; but you can shoot to defend property under some circumstances.
I'd also think that if your dog was off of the leash and on someone else's property, then you might be on pretty thin ice using lethal force. I don't doubt that this topic should stir up plenty of responses on both sides.
