I had a dog too. What I did was put the poison pellets inside a soda bottle. Mice can get in to eat the poison, but not the dog. LOL. Worked great.
Home Depot and Lowes sells baggies of mint/rodent repellent that I've put in customer's engine area for this exact issue. It falls in line with peppermint oil as well but a dry baggy that can be tucked in areas away from heat.

if they fill all 10, put out 20
People claim that mice don't like the smell of Irish Spring soap. I got a couple bars and cut them up and placed them on plates in the car over winter a couple years ago. I'd check on the car every once in a while. Come spring, I grabbed the soap and noticed that one bar had teeth marks on it. No chewed wires but I lost faith in Irish Spring.

When I bought my house I had the worst infestation from the prior owners. I use(d) an assortment of tools for mice, chipmunks, rats, and squirrels.
Starting from the outside:
Poison pellets in professional grade containers
Fix your house or garage.
Be sure all holes are filled with caulking or silicone. Fix any and all entry points for critters.
Inside:
Use Glue boards
Victor mouse traps
Victor rat traps
Put steel wool in exhaust tips
and
Turn on the radio
Stopped finding dead pests last year. Must of wiped out the whole neighborhood or they found a new home.
That water bucket method works good too. I just never liked the idea of stagnant water with dead remains. **** like that can get humans super sick.
