This!!

The truth is, once you leave your home with your dog, you’ve increased the chance of an off-leash dog issue. Same once you get on the road, you’ve increased your chance of a drunk driving encounter.

Reality and living a full life mean one knowingly takes certain risks. There’s no guaranteed, bomb-proof, risk-free approach to taking your dog out into the world. We all have to acknowledge that reality. That said, there are many things one can do to minimize risks, as well as tools/gadgets/approaches one can use to deal with ugly situations.

First, avoid high traffic off-leash dog areas. Sounds simple, but many folks still bring their dogs around environments which greatly increase the risks. If you do see a single or group of off-leash dogs, don’t push your “I’ve got a right to be here” mindset. Simply give space and go around. That’s what I do. If you live in an area where off-leash dogs roam the neighborhood, take your dogs by car to another location that’s safer. I know it’s a pain, but dog fights are a far bigger pain.

As for tools/gadgets/approaches, here’s a few: carry pepper or bear spray. This will sometimes stop dogs, and sometimes won’t—but usually will take the wind out of their sails. Pet Convincer (compressed co2) works for many dogs, but def not all. Doggie Don’t, which mimics a taser/stun gun sound, will frighten many, but not all dogs away. Walking sticks or golf clubs are old standbys that have been used for years. My personal preferences: any dog that approaches with bad intent—kick them, hard, with everything you’ve got. (If they’re big and serious.) Also, carry a slip lead with you in your pocket. When dogs attack, they almost always grab and hold. This means, if you can keep your cool, you can take the slip, undo it, string it around the offender’s neck, put the end through the loop, and apply significant pressure until the offender releases and is incapacitated. (You can use your belt in the same fashion.) I also carry a knife in case of a worst case scenario dog attack on myself. (Yes, if a dog attacks me, I won’t be the one going away in the ambulance.)

Feel free to share your best tools/gadgets/approaches. Maybe we can help each other out by sharing our best experiences of protecting our dogs.

Look who’s back for some refreshers! Sweet little octavia has gotten bigger and quicker with her commands. I’m super proud of her and her daddy. 🥰❤️🤠🐾

Tucker went home yesterday! ❤️🤠🥰

I’m so proud of him and his mama both! As I always say I can take the dog and show them all the things, what it boils down to is the owner learning then keeping up with what I’ve instilled into their dog. This level of communication doesn’t happen over night, you have to stay consistent and practice!! Congratulations Jessye and Tucker!! Here’s to a fresh new start!
