It was recommended to me by one of the postal workers who did my route. He said it works (its what they carry)... and while I thankfully have never had to use it I do carry it on my walks.

Thanks so much for posting this - I just ordered this now too. You just never know what can happen and from what I've seen by all the trainers on Animal Planet they say to turn and walk in opposite direction of dog or if you really fear of being attacked they say crouch down as low as you can go and cover your body to protect it.

They say to NEVER stare into the eyes of an attacking dog and if you are standing to stand very still and not move until the dog goes away. Easier said than done with two barking furbutts in your arms that's for sure..hence the Halt now.
