dog pepper spray

tnx so much for those who took their time reading & answering my question. actually i have two dogs (great pyrenees). both of them knocked down the wooden fence in the backyard & got out just around the neighborhood. i believed somebody called the animal control, so the officer came by & picked up both dogs. she claimed that the other dog bit or attacked her so she used the pepper spray at first but it didnt work out so she used the shovel instead to calm the dog down. both dogs are up to date with their vaccines and no history of being a dangerous or vicious dog. both dogs live with my boyfriend & he was still at work when the incident happened. since the neighborhood knows those two dogs, they told the officer where those dogs live. so the officer went to my boyfriend’s house & told his sister that she will take both dogs to the shelter. she also told her that one of the dogs bit her. my boyfriend’s sister didnt see any sign of injury on the officer though.

Will you do it if you’re alone in the jungle with only your dog for company or suffer the bites?

No insect repellent nor insecticide spray & the insects are biting,,,,,

I have a black mixed terrier that we have in the back yard and he keeps digging little wholes everywhere, some big . I have tried putting black pepper and he eats the dirt. I also tried covering the hole back up with dirt/mud & spraying dog/cat repelant spray which is primarily used for this type of thing but it doesn’t phase him. He either digs it right back out or digs a new hole.

Can someone help me figure out a solution?

Thanks!

If I took a pepper (one like this http://blogs.westword.com/cafesociety/pepper.jpg but green), squeezed the juice out of it, mixed that with lemon juice, and added some pepper (like this http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt208/bluevioletnutshell/SaltPepperShaker_l.jpg ) would it work as mace/pepper spray? I’m mainly using this to ward off dogs that I may come in contact with while walking my dog, as there are tons of strays/loose dogs around here. I’ve looked up some other "recipes" online but I don’t have most of the stuff that you need.

thanks!
There’s no grocery stores around here & I can’t drive yet, my parents aren’t willing to drive 20 miles to buy peppers.. :/

Hi We’re new to the neighborhood we just moved to -a couple of days ago I was walking to the local park w/my 1 1/2 Y.O. daughter (pushing the stroller too). A lady w/a pit bull (leashed) was headed towards me, about a block away. I picked my daughter up, put her in the stroller & went to the other side of the street. There was a mail carrier on the same side of the st. as the PB & when she neared it, the pit bull lunged at her, barking, & the carrier ran into the street. I’ve seen her walking the dog before and I crossed the street the other time too, I never saw it actually go after someone before until this time but it got me thinking -God forbid the dog ever gets away from the owner, who is very muscular also, but very small. The times I’ve seen her/her dog, she’s been on a cell phone w/one hand & holding the leash in the other -the dog is almost dragging her. Outside of carrying a crowbar in the stroller & pepper spray, what can I do to defend us or avoid a dog attack?! Thanks!
I really appreciate all of the answers that everyone offered, they’re all very helpful. Regarding lawsuits, though…if anyone, man or beast, attacks my daughter, I’ll do whatever I have to to stop it.

I saw a pit bull attack a small dog in my then-fiance’s front yard. It was vicious and unbelievably fast. I do worry – dogs are animals & they live by a different code than we do.

If I could find something that retracts to fit in the stroller that might work best…I can’t imagine carrying a 3 or 4′ piece of bamboo around with me, although that sounds like a pretty good solution. Thanks to all, I do appreciate it.

Up until this afternoon my dog loved our backyard. It is usually a treat for her to play outside.
At noon our neighbors sprayed their yard with something and then pounded some stakes into the ground.
My dog is now terrified of going onto the grass of the backyard. She can’t walk into the kitchen (on the lenoleum anyway) without shaking either (the kitchen butts up against the backyard).
When we bring her outside to go to the bathroom…she forces her self to goes onto the grass…walks a couple steps, starts to shake, sticks her tail between her legs, flattens her ears against her head, and runs back to the house crying.
I have to walk her out the front door, and take her to the opposite corner from the backyard before she relaxes.
I don’t know what to do.
Could this be a reaction to a sonic rodent repellent? Or a nervous reaction to chemicals? What’s the best way to approach my neighbors w/o accusing them?

In my neighborhood everybody has a dog & nobody has a leash.

Owners walk in the streets with their dogs without a leash & I have been bitten on several occasions! The owners don’t even say "Sorry"!

I’M TIRED OF DOGS BITING ME, I’M FIGHTING BACK NOW!

I asked a question about pepper spray a while back, & people here on Y!A told me that if it’s over a year, then it’s best to throw it away, since it won’t be as powerful. There are so many stray dogs in my town here in North Texas-US (HUGE) that are very vicious & will run WAY across the street, just to try to attack you. It seems like the SPCA won’t do anything about them. I’ve been almost attacked 5 times, since moving here a year ago. I don’t know if anyone else has had any experiences with being attacked by these dogs. Do you think WalMart carries pepper spray?

There has been a slew of B&Es recently on my street- even though we all have security alarms systems. Anyway, both of my neighbours have Beware of Dog signs on their houses, I don’t. I’m leary of putting one up because I think thay are kind of tacky looking and my ADT sign should be a deterrent enough, but it wasn’t for the neighbours who have been broken into.

What are your thoughts on Beware of Dog signs? My cat is more frightening then my puppy is.
