I carry it on hikes, but I know a lot of people that carry it 24/7. Pretty effective at stopping a charging dog, and it won’t have any lasting damage (like a gun) or risk hurting yourself (like mace) so you won’t be hesitant to pull the trigger.

I could barely get in the house to feed the dogs, and the dog could sense my fear.

Squirt them right in the face if you can. Air horns also work well.  Sure you can try throwing treats or something at them, but I have no patience for that. When it comes to off leash dogs I don't fuck around and take immediate action.\r\n\r\nUse your environment, too. Hide behind a home or literally stick your dog in a garbage bin. I've seen it save lives. Just be careful picking up your small dog around bigger dogs. Fast moving small fluffy objects might cause prey drive to kick in. \r\n\r\nAnd just because these were pitbulls doesn't mean it can't happen with other breeds.

So far, I don't think that any of it has actually touched the other dogs as I tend to react a bit too quickly, but just the sound and sight of it spraying towards them has deterred the dogs by either making them stop approaching or running away. \r\n\r\nAs for other ideas, you can try other sprays like bear/coyote spray or mace (if it's legal in your area), sound items like air horns and whistles, or the good old fashion stuff like carrying some rocks to throw at the other dog or a large stick, baton, baseball bat, etc. that you can use with one hand to swing at and/or hit them if needed.","subreddit_name":"dogs","author":"PhantomWolf64"},{"body":"Start taking video of incidents - religiously.
