I walk alone or with my small terrior dog sometimes. The neighborhood I walk in has dogs and sometimes they are loose. I get more barks and curiousity from other dogs when I'm with my dog than when I'm walking alone. Usually dogs that were loose in the neighborhood would quickly go to my dog to smell him.
Or, when I'm alone, dogs that were loose, would try to walk up to me. But I'd yell at them and tell them to get back in their yard. Both times they responded and backed down.
Here's the question - how to deal with a vicious dog who won't respond to my commands or a dog who wants to attack my smaller dog while I'm on a walk - what other options do I have to protect myself besides the following:
Pepper spray (I hear that's effective)
Rambo Style (Carry a sharp stick and stab the dog to death)
Physical fighting (I might loose to a really crazy dog)
Shooting the dog with my gun (last resort)
What other methods can I use that you know are effective?
