Speaking from experience in Mumbai, just pretending to throw a stone doesn’t necessarily work. You have to pretend to pick up a stone and then throw it.
Huh. If you pretend to throw the stone, does that mean you make a throwing motion with your arm, but just don’t actually release the object you are holding? If so, how come they run away instead of e.g. cringing and expecting to get hit, and then not getting hit, and figuring that you missed and are now out of ammo?
Or does it mean you make menacing gestures as if to throw, but don’t actually make the whole throwing motion?
As was said above, first you need to pick a stone from the ground or pretend that you are doing this if there is no stone around. Even if you have a stone, make the gesture that you take it from the ground.
Another important point is to do it quickly and aggressively with loud cry. Also you can pull back one’s arm with a stone.
The whole trick is that dogs are so afraid of stones that they will run away before you actually throw it or they see where it fails.
