Walking stick - euphemism for a nine iron ... although I had a five wood I liked for a while.
The number one thing that will prompt a dog is fear ... heart rate, perspiration, eye contact are all signals - nothing signals I’d like you to take charge of this encounter " as much as fear. I have had some real reservations turning my back to some local dogs.
Carry some cookies, get to know the neighborhood dogs, burglars do – grin. Trained dog won’t take treats for that reason btw.
Toss em away from you, back to its home area, as you walk by, if he still wants (gets close enough on his charge) to have a nip, bean em with a nine iron hard enough to stop em, is my strategy. Has been for years – handy to have for rattlesnakes, mountain lions and mountain bikers high on testosterone too.
Btw spray is very effective – some jurisdictions require permits training to carry though. Mostly concerning concealed carry. Any state county rules we know of out here?
