Adult red-tailed hawks are large formidable birds, and have few predators. Most predation on this species occurs to eggs and nestlings. Great horned owls are known predators of red-tailed hawk nestlings. Corvids are known predators of eggs and nestlings. (Preston and Beane, 1993)
Get larger dogs. Whatever you do, keep one thing in mind, the hawks are protected under federal law, your dogs aren't.
If the dog is small there might be no hope or SOME hopefully and if the dog is like greyhound size it's protected.
Red tailed hawks protect themselves by either swooping at the predator or defend it self with its talons/ But Birds of Prey really don't have predators thank you and bye.
