I had a problem with a neighbors German Shepherd (she let it run around off its leash and it would rush up to me and my Yorkie -- I would have to hold my dog over my head until she got it under control). I contacted an Animal Control Officer. She said they don't use Mace or Pepper spray because on big dogs it sometimes doesn't work and just makes them mad. They use bear repellant (like you would take camping). It won't hurt the dog, but is much stronger. I looked for it at REI and Sport Authority though, but I never found any. |
