Could I get in trouble for pepper spraying our neighborhood 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?
Coyote's now Fisher Cats and Brown Bears !!!!???
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!
Is that really legal?
My friend has this little Jack Russell mix dog, the dog does not bite at all, so this afternoon, her dog got sprayed repeatedly in the face with mace from a mailman who looked to be pretty old, my friend told me that she kept telling him that the dog was not going to bite him, but he just kept spraying.
Then as she was bending over to pick her dog up, he sprayed her in the face, luckily she’s ok, her eyes are still burning..
Cece my friend understands that the carrier was only trying to protect himself, but he shouldn’t have sprayed her too..
I could understand if I were a mail carrier and a little barking dog came up to me, and if I WERE NOT a dog lover, I’d freak out too!
I read somewhere that a mailman is supposed to scare a dog with their bag first, interesting.
That’s animal cruelty in my opinion.
I also read that it’s not mace, but pepper spray, interesting
Note, my friend’s eyes are still burning 8 hours later.

Is the tv show Dog the Bounty Hunter an accurate portrayal of how bounty hunters are permitted to behave.?
Ive started watching this show lately and am kind of shocked by it. Are bounty hunters legally allowed to do the following:
Enter someones home without a warrant- These guys often go around knocking on peoples doors and barging their way into their homes. And often they do this to the wanted guys neighbors or other people who have done nothing wrong and are not harboring the wanted man or woman.
Physically Assault people- Some of these guys in Dogs crew, often initiate a fight with some guy- again often somebody who has done nothing wrong and is just mad at them for going around causing chaos and antagonizing them. That young punk who i think is Dogs son seems to seize every opportunity to do this. And ive only ever seen him taking a swing at either old guys, drunks or little guys. If its a young or big guy he just pepper sprays them and then legs it to the car.
Verbally abuse people- These people are annoying self righteous, which is ironic given the history of many of the people in this family, who in the past have been on the wrong side of the law. They all go around talking down to people, using foul language and antagonizing them.
Damage peoples property- Ive seen them kicking down peoples doors and pushing the furniture over, and you hear mirrors smashing things breaking etc.
My dog keeps digging for no reason!!!!!?
My dog is a 10 month old Lab/B.Collie cross.Se digs all the time for no reason! I don’t know what to do.Nothing works, not faeces, not water, not shouting, not pepper, not that spray that is meant to be repulsive to dogs. We shout really bad at her and tell her to go on her bed, which she does without struggle, and we make her stay there in disgrace.
She’s not bored because she has bones, toys, balls etc outside. She likes swimming so we take her swimming, then leave in the garden for about half an hour afterwards to dry off, and she’s dug. I put her outside while I wash the kitchen floor, which takes about five minutes! And she’s dug. I don’t shut the door on her we have a board we put across so she can still see and hear what’s happening in the house, just can’t get in. She has good long walks everyday but still digs. I can’t see any reason why or any way to stop it. She has trashed our garden it has got worse in the past few months, it’s like she enjoys being punished.Please help
What to do about roaming dogs?
I have had bad experiences with irresponsible owners letting their dogs walk around. I have been chased, bitten, growled at, etc. The bites weren’t too bad because I was on my bike. But now there’s a golden retriever mix that is mixed with a large breed. It seems timid at times but dogs always have changing mood in my experiences. I’ve been thinking of using the pepper spray that my mom got when we lived on base which is actually low-grade tear gas. And keeping it with me while I wait at the bus stop and leaving it in the mailbox when I’m about to get on the bus. Or maybe keep a stick with me. Anyone have suggestions?
my neighbors daughter is on the city counsel and complains about everything and authorities take his side?
One morning my kids were going on a group outing and my dog got out. When I awoke I Heard a ruckas in the front yard I opened my door to my neighbor and the police trying to get a dog(not knowing it was my dog). when I realized it was my dog I pleaded with the officer to please let me come out and get the dog for him he would not let me.,and sprayed a whole can of pepper spray in my dogs face. The sergant on duty came to talk to me and said my dog had bit the neighbor and he was going to be put on quarentine for 10 Days . I told him that my dog at 7 years old doesnt have a mean bone in his body and I want to see the bite. He then said that a animal control officer will be getting in touch with me. Well that Monday morning they came to my house to inform me that they were going to deem my dog as visous and I probably would never get him back and if I tried I would have to get a10,000 dollars insuranse policy just to keep the dog and the counsel would decide if it should go to a hea
What is the best weapon when taking your dog for a walk?
This is a funny question, raised by a hilarious event today. So I’m out walking Rock, and she goes poo. I pick it up and go on my merry way with poo bag now in hand. Some moron starts following me and is basically stalking me. I had planned on going home, but I take a different route… And then this dude comes up to me and Rock with a frickin knife.
You know what’s better than having a knife or pepper spray or a tazer or a stick? A FILLED POO BAG. I chuck it at the dude and he turns around and starts running, then the bag hits his shoulder and falls to the ground. Oh, that was hilarious. And of course I start sprinting on home before the dude can turn back. I made it back safe and all, but I needed to use my inhaler. Which sucked, since I was trying to go for a record… hadn’t needed it for three months.
They are now my weapon of choice. What’s yours, and why?
Women’s saftey courses? Nah, hapkido is way better ![]()
*safety, not saftey. sorry.
*safety, not saftey. sorry.
Oh, another good tool is a paperclip or a safety pin… if you know how to use one.
