Good question but from everything I have heard, the answer is no difference. Apparently dog owners are strictly liable in CA.
Liability may be strict in that proof of negligence is not required but there are still defenses available to the dog owner.

If your daughter actually entered the neighbor's property uninvited that could be an issue. At 9 years old she would be presumed to know better.

You haven't made clear whether that's the case or not. You referred to "at or near" the property and something about an "ungated yard."
