I work for NPS, sometimes assigned to Rock Creek. I am on the trails mutiple times a week for my own recreation.  (I'm also a dog owner but they don't come with me).  So with that as your background, dcum, I will tell you that is unapologetically carry a cannister of a substance stronger than pepper spray in Rock Creek and I've used it on unleashed dogs over the years.

I carry it in case I need it to defend assault by another human.   The substance is rated to take down a bear, and it easily takes out aggressive dogs.  [/quote]

I read a news article about a guy who came upon a pitbull attack and took off his belt -lassoed it - choked.  There is a device pitbull afficiondos recommend called a break stick.  That device is not on the you need lists when adopting from shelters and rescues.  They recommend only using it on molosser or pit type dogs since other dogs have a more snap and bite mode.

If attacked on your own property there are home depot items you might want to have readily available.[/quote]
