Voles are nasty little critters that can cause a lot of damage to your yard. I have them in my tree nursery and a few years ago, I had a bumper crop of them that completey eradicated 35 prairifire crabapple trees in one winter! They completely girdled the trunks which killed the trees. Nasty little buggers!
Baiting them with dogs in your yard is a tricky situation. Here's a link to a website with some information. If you have a county pest control department, I highly recommend calling them. They could help you. That's who I call as it's paid for by our taxes.
