In Nevada, the state's wildlife department has a unique approach to handling black bears that wander into neighborhoods. Trained dogs are used to help keep these bears wild. The Nevada Department of Wildlife may deploy these dogs when a bear becomes too comfortable roaming through residential areas or searching for food near homes.

Further details about this program, including the dogs' names and training, are available from the source, which highlights the work of two dogs in particular, though specifics about their roles and effectiveness are not provided here.
