Staying Protected From Dogs When Walking

By Tammy Wilson


My physicians have always urged me to workout on a regular basis but what ultimately forced me into it was when I had a mild stroke around 6 months ago. I slowly began walking within my driveway and right after about 30 days I was walking around our block.

What I noticed during those strolls was that nearly all of my neighbors only came home in the evening and left their own dogs in the house throughout the day. What happens if one of those pet dogs escaped? I then recalled one of my pals who utilized pepper spray on dogs and made a decision that I ought to carry one myself.

Dog pepper spray differs from the one for human beings. It's also non-lethal but the dog repellent just has around fifty percent of the active component in pepper sprays for human beings.

Canines possess a very sensitive sense of smell thus it would not take a lot to stop their particular attack. So, dog spray shouldn't be utilized on human beings, and the other way around.

I was walking along 5th street one day and I found that a gate was ajar. Inside was a German shepherd and he was barking at me. I took out my defense spray just as the animal was about to charge.

The label on my personal muzzle canine pepper spray said that it was effective up to 10 feet thus I sprayed him as soon as he was about 6 feet away and barking furiously. I was definitely scared. The spray made the dog stop and turn around, snorting as well as crying.

The owner went out and apologized. She revealed that her own dog seemed to be in pain all morning and was about to take him to the veterinarian. At the gate, she recalled her mobile phone and went inside the house to obtain it. She did not want to move the dog however she forgot to close the gate.

Later, I called and learned that her dog had recovered from the self-defense spray in under an hour. I am just glad that I got a canine repellent. Making use of pepper spray on dogs decreases the likelihood of injury for both canines and also human beings.
