What could post-apocalypse humans do about dangerous, genetically augmented dogs?

So, out in Colorado, in the city of Den (population 1600), there is a huge problem. Before the war, a geneticist lab was trying to create police dogs that were stronger and superior to normal dogs. Ever since the war, the dogs have caused huge problems in the town. Local pets and the specially bred police dogs interbred, and now rule the streets, and the feral dogs will attack almost any prey they see, whether it be a cat, a horse, or a human. The dogs have the intelligence of a 6 year old human. Many of the people living in Den have started to leave, and the remaining citizens have to deal with the threats. So how could they address these problems?

1. It is hard to trade with nearby settlements because of the dogs, as any caravans will be attacked. Trading is very important, so how could they fix this problem?

2. The need to create houses that can't be easily razed by dogs, so they need houses that are protected from the dogs.

3. Food. They need to grow crops for food and trade (mostly potatoes and corn), but the dogs won't let that happen. They eat up crops (genetically modified as they are), and kill the livestock.

ADDITIONAL INFO

Old Denver is mostly destroyed, and no buildings from the before times still stand.

As for available weapons: these are mostly bows and arrows. A few people have firearms, though.
