It still scared them that the pug was charging up to them. They dont know if the pug is going to fight them or bite them. The umbrella would probably have scared it away temporarily at least. I'm surprised that so many people are dealing with this issue. I am not alone. |
Any spray there is always wind direction to take into consideration, air horn, is good, but, it will also scare your dogs, When I was married and boating we used this, at that time I had a Poodle, that horn would scare her to death, but it was needed. A BIG automatic opening umbrella is good to stop an on coming dog, but, what happens if it doesn't run away, or just stops the dog for that one moment? Lots of "what if's" isn't it sad we have to think of safe protection JUST TO WALK our dogs, makes dog walking a stressful event instead of an enjoyable one, I go through this every time I just want to walk my dog.
