lol, maybe that was a little risque :whistle:, I couldn't believe that picture myself when I found it a few minutes ago - I only typed in "funny dog" and clicked the image tab.

on the subject of ''Weapons" that you could explain away as 'reasonable' ~
a small can of WD40 would probably be acceptable to carry on a bicycle ?
+ 1 bic lighter = very passable flame thrower ;) just sayin'  :pok:

*yes I'm aware that it might not put of an angry Rottie/mugger for long (but it would give him something to consider) AND it would take both hands and maybe need a bit of *warning* ?  :think:
I've considered this form of EDC defence, if nothing else it breeds a confidence to feel you are 'armed' but Mr plod wouldn't be horrified to find it in your coat pocket  :D


*also VERY effective against LARGE spiders in the garage ...... I HAVE tested that one !  :whistle:

Haven't they changed them to using carbon dioxide instead of propane as a propellant?

On the subject of dogs, my boss's dog (whom I walk when he's away) is as friendly and soppy as anything with people but will go for cars. And will win - she's smashed a car's headlight before and ended up glaring at it looking mildly pissed off.

Dogs are very effective predators.  I think the best way to deal with them is a good offense if the situation can't be avoided.  Of course, avoidance is the best option, but it isn't always available.

In order to fight a dog you really need to train at it and accept that you are going to get bit.  Your best bet is to arm yourself with pepper spray or something similar if you can.  Keep it handy and practice drawing it so you can do it instinctively when you need to.

Failing that if try to dismount and walk past with the bike between you and the dog.

Sentence #2 here is key. Tosh, if you'll PM me, I'll tell you how to flank a dog and get them off of you no matter what the scenario is. We do it all the time with our Police dogs. Regards,

I agree with everything that's been said here and it's true that 90 percent of the problem is handler and not the K9. I'd like to add 2 things.

#1. Dogs have almost no feeling at all on their snout. That is the area from the back of their nose to the base of their eyes, this is a very common misconception. When you smack them there with a newspaper or such, it is the shock that frightens them, not pain. They quickly recover and tend to re-engage more aggressively.

#2. If you do take a bite on your upper extremeties, try to get the dog standing on his hind legs. A knee strike to the thoracic area may not fully connect. A more reliable method is to firmly step down on his hind feet, this will cause pain and get him to yelp, thereby coming off of his bite. Should you find yourself in this position, (hopefully never), once the dog has let go, grab his head with both hands and do not let go, you can at least control him from here until the handler gets their smurf together and their hound under control. I know the idea sounds crazy but it really works. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Stew... :cheers:

Sorry Sir if my comment offended. I was just using a bit of gallows humor. I shouldn't have said that and I apologize. Hopefully, no harm no foul.

Thanks for the tips Stew!  :salute:  It would do us all well to try and remember them.  I had a 120 lb Rottweiler charge me before, and while not scared, I was expecting a very bad outcome.  Turns out all he wanted to do was lick and kiss me, but I didn't know that!  He had gotten away from his handler, who was about my size (6'4", 200 lbs) and took off towards me. 

If it had of went bad, I would have never thought about the tips you provided at the time, but they are firmly planted in my brain now!!  :salute:

Yeah, I can't argue with you there!!   :rofl:   Actually, anyone that knows me, calls me Dr. Dolittle.  ALL animals love me...  It's kind of weird, but I love animals too!  It's fun going to the zoo, as they'll ignore most people at the fences, or in the petting areas, but if I walk by, they all come over.  I must have been an animal pimp in a previous life!!  :rofl:

Cats are the serial killers of the animal world, what have they ever DONE for anyone.

Can you get a co2 pistol? Even if you dont hit it the sound is pretty loud, and a few times, the damn dog will get to know you. Or just throw it some bologna and be its buddy :D

I might not have had many unnecessary encounters with cats, but my garden certainly has. Damaged plants, vile smells, half buried turds in my veg planters, bird remnants, late night squealing ..... I'm not one for violence to animals either, but I've had some pretty uncharitable thoughts about cat owners who blindly allow their precious little Tiddles to roam the neighbourhood and cause untold problems for others with scant disregard :twak: :megaslap: :mn:

That sucks, well sausages, steak or bologna it is I guess....... unless it resembles a knife or hand gun, better unwrap, and cook thoroughly so the poor thing doesn't get sick
