The Coyote decoys are very effective. You'll need to rotate them now and then -- move them around. But Geese are dumb, and are terrified of coyotes.
The dog solution is also good, especially if you use a true bird dog (spaniel of some sort. Sometimes you and ask a neighbor to bring his dog over.
A third solution is to string wires across the pond -- if you can. Geese need a lengthy area to land and take off on the water, and the wires inhibit them so much that eventually they will leave. This only works for small ponds, of course.
The final solution, though, is to lure them onto the road, and then use your SUV.
