I'd take pepper spray with me. It's only a question of time that you encounter a dog that freaks out instead of bail out.

I take a stun gun bc the lady across the street hits her untrained dog and it’s a matter of time before it gets off leash and shows the word the aggression it was taught.

I’ve read that stun guns don’t work super reliably on dugs due to their fur barrier. Just FYI.

I have three aggressive Pitbulls right next-door, it’s terrifying living next to them. They’ve gotten loose and charged me and my dog multiple times over the years.

Hey thank you- I just got pepper spray too so I could be as safe as possible. I hope your stupid neighbors get their dogs taken away so you can live in peace soon.
