[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pepper spray for dogs:

If the dog stays away, no problem.  If an unleashed dog approaches you or your child, give a quick spray in front of the dog.  It uses capsaicin, the active element in hot peppers.  Does not hurt the dog, but will turn the dog away.  Hopefully the spray in front of their nose will chase the dog away.  If not, and the dog continues to approach after smelling the spray, then spray on the face.

You will likely get the bad dog owners upset.  But explain that had they had their dog on a leash and under their control, you would not have needed to protect yourself and your child.[/quote] Thanks for the link.  I was all set to purchase it but amazon is telling me I can't have it delivered to my address.  Bummer! I'm in DC.[/quote]

Thank you for being a responsible dog owner.

Now that my kids are older, we appreciate dogs out on walks and my kids love to ask owners if dogs can be petted, etc.  However, when my twins were younger, we had an incident where an exuberant dog on one of those retractable leashes bounded up and knocked both of them over and scared the bejeesus out of them.  And, of course, the irresponsible dog owner usd the "don't worry, he's friendly!" totally ignoring the fact that two children were now lying on the hard sidewalk and crying.  She didn't think there was anything wrong.  I told her she should not use the retractable leash and she said that the kids would be fine and then left.  It took a while to get them used to dogs again.

The problem is that especially post-pandemic, there are many more irresponsible dog owners out now than ever before and it's become a big problem.  [/quote]
