pepper spray dogs

My American bulldog is not good with other dogs. We learned this out quickly after we adopted her. Once we took her to the dog park and she (quite viciously) attacked another dog, they did not press charges though. I know she should get her to a professional trainer but that is just not an option due to expenses. Some dogs are running lose in our neighborhood when we take our dog for a walk. Would it be okay if maised or pepper sprayed their dog, sense ours is on a leash?

I sure can used some insite on this! Recently we have had many Coyote’s in my neighborhood. I came upon 2 while walking my dogs. Now carry pepper spray but now I was just informed that also Fisher Cats have been sited and also a Brown Bear.
Any information on the latter two would be greatly appreciated!

Most like time to see them? What to do if I do? Should I just not walk the dogs for a while? I do live in a very country setting but Geeze!!!
Thanks Pam but I live in CT. The state has benn importing the Fisher Cats to try to keep the Geese population down?
Where I live is only 1 1/2 mile from the Ct. River and I already checked no consturction near the river.
Tinker dont worry I dont want them hurt at all. I just want to avoid them at all costs.
Thanks K but I dont think my neighbors would appreciate me blasting Nine Inch Nails at 2 am. Their not really into it like me.
CT wild live just says to avoid them. Duh!

Recently I read that running is the fastest way to lose fat…I do believe that. So I decided to start running. Unfortunately I noticed there were a couple of loose dogs in my neighborhood – one being a pit bull…sitting outside with his owner. No biggy right? Well as I was walking on the other side of the sidewalk, the pit bull did see me, but the owner said "Stay Sadie", so I was a little scared…OK who am I fooling? … I WAS A LOT SCARED.

I want to continue to run because it makes me feel great…and in one week I have lost 3 pounds – whoohooo; however what should I take to protect myself against dogs who are trying to be protective? No I don’t want to carry pepper spray…I might spray myself.

All suggestions welcomed.

Ok, I live in a neighborhood where a few of my neighbors own dangerous dogs – amongst them, a german shepard. They walk the dogs without leash nor muzzle, letting them walk around, loose. I have a small dog myself, who has been attacked by these dogs in more than one occasion. The situation is getting to a breaking point. I`m trying to avoid calling the police, so i want to know if someone knows some stuff than can prevent an attack. My idea is to walk my dog with a hairspray. Pepper spray is forbidden in my country, so I´m hoping hairspray can have the same effect – does anyone know if it can?

Any suggestions?
I thought I should add this: I`m trying to avoid calling the police for two reasons. 1) Police is highly inefficient in my country, so a formal complaint will have little input on the situation, and 2) These people not that civilized, so a formal complaint can have the reverse effect of them taking revenge on me. I thought I should clear this up.

Ive walked home from the bus stop for about two years now, and ive seen a strange dog once, seen a mean small dog once, and had a neigbors dog bark at me tons of times. I may sound like a whimp, but I’m scared of any dog I don’t know unless it’s owner is with it. Im so freaked out all the time, I’m scared that im going to go around the corner and there will be this huge snarling dog there. And i have to walk pretty far, and since I live the farthest back in the neighborhood, I have to walk at least half of the way alone.

There is no one who can pick me up because my mom had knee surgery, my step dad will hopefully have a job by the time school starts , plus he’s the type who thinks it would be spoiling me, and my real dad lives 10 minutes away from us.

How can i get over this fear and what should i do if i ever am in this situation?
And i don’t think our school allows pepper spray. iv’e considered it though.

I want to take walks with my child to get in shape. However I have had a fear of large dogs for most of my life. There is a doberman in our neighborhood that barks and jumps up (you see his head above the fence) when I walk by. I need to get over this fear. What is a person supposed to do if an aggressive dog comes up to my child and me? I was thinking of getting a baseball bat or pepper spray.
of course I wouldn’t use a bat or pepper spray if the dog is on it’s property! I’m talking about if the dog runs up to my child or me on the street.
I find it so funny that most people are concerned with the dog not being hurt but hardly anyone brought up my child’s safety. I am a dog lover, I’ve had many and considered them a part of my family. I am talking about a situation that could become dangerous, we all know those occur sometimes. It’s really scary how overboard people can go sometimes, to the point where they’re not even caring about the humans’ safety!

My neighborhood has many dogs in it. Unfortunately, many of these dogs cannot be trusted and are indeed mean. I’ve been chased on my bicycle many times to the point where I stopped riding and walking around my neighborhood for now, especially at night.

I’ve been chased on my bike by 2 rottweilers AND chased and cornered against a wall by 2 OTHERS while jogging. Both times, I was about to be attacked had it not been for the owner running and screaming. My neighbor, who actually owns 2 dogs herself went on a walk the other day and was attacked, knocked down, and bitten by a dog below our house.

So I have reason to be concerned. Now, my question is, 1. What do you recommend? Any particular pepper spray or will any do? and 2. When can I legally deploy it? If I am being charged by a pitbull or rotweiler, should I go ahead and shoot them with it, or wait until they actually bite? I ask this because I know that some dogs just run up and sniff/lick you, but on the other hand, I don’t want to be subdued before I get a chance to defend myself.

I love to run.. I do it almost every day. But there is a dog down the street medium sized brown dog. Every time it is outside and I run by it chases after me and tries to bite me. I have yelled no, go home. I have carried a stick and swung it at it. I have tried to spray it with pepper spray but it missed. But it just keeps coming. I have yelled at the neighbors do something about your F in dog while running by being chased… Also it suck that the dog roams the neighborhood and I have had this happen in totally different areas almost a mile from the house… It gets other dogs in on it to that normally just bark..What do I do??? Help!

I am training for a half marathon and I don’t have a choice of where I run, there is only one way out of my neighborhood with sidewalks. So I increased my run by a mile and started to go by this house (I don’t know the owners) and the dog came off the property, across the street, growling and running after me, baring its teeth and tried to bite me. I avoided it on the way out but I had to go back the same way. On the way back, it came back after me again and blocked my path. I called for the owners and stopped running, yelled at the dog screaming "BACK"! It’s teeth were bared and it kept lunging at me. I had nothing to throw at it or squirt at it, I was really unsure what to do but after yelling at it for a bit, I got it to step back enough I sort of scooted by it and started walking past slowly until it seemed to think the threat was gone and it started to retreat. But by then my adrenalin level was so I high and I was so scared I couldn’t complete my run and I ended up just walking home shaking. I called animal control to report the dog but haven’t heard back and I want to run again today but just thinking about the dog I am afraid. I have a pitbull lab mix and I have never been afraid of a dog before. My dog is trained very well and is great with people! I want to know if anyone has any suggestions for scaring off an aggressive dog that are things you can carry while running. I do have a little belt I sometimes wear that you can put very small items in so I could possibly put pepper spray or something like that. But I wondered if the regular pepper spray would severely injure a dog? And would I get in trouble legally for spraying a dog with this?
thanks for your input.
