Regarding the person who suggested a stick rather than pepper spray: you are suggesting that trying to seriously harm an animal is a better idea than a product that is intended to discourage attacking mammals with zero long term effects?
I said get a stick. I didn't say try to seriously harm an animal. Is your brain that dumb?

Pepper spray does not seriously harm dogs. It is an irritant only.

Remove your head from your butt and replace it with your stick.

re: People Eating Tasty Animals

I ran by the same yard today. The dog chased me again, but it's not a big deal when I'm running. I just pick up a stick as I'm approaching the house and wave it in the general direction of the dog. He stops. On a bike, I can't carry a stick. The stupid dog actually ran into my rear wheel two days ago.

I must have missed the dog with the pepper spray the first time. I don't see how, but that's all I can figure.

Alter your route to avoid the dog.

If you can carry pepper spray then why can't you carry a stick? I see bikers with sticks all the time.

What exactly is the point of the stick then? Is your idea that you throw the stick so the dog chases that instead? If not, I can't see what you meant by get a stick.
And for the record, I see nothing wrong with him hitting the dog with the stick if he is truly being attacked. I just don't understand your contention that a stick is somehow nicer towards the dog than pepper spray, which has no long term effects, unless the dog eats it, then maybe he'll be gassy.

What is wrong with you? Throwing the stick or seriously harming the dog with the stick are the only two options? You can't imagine any levels of intermediate force?

Did you use the spray again? Maybe you got it the first time, but the dog didn't know what it was and found out later. I'd keep using the spray, until it is working or else you are sure that it doesn't.

Pepper spray has been known to not work if it's not mixed (shaken) well enough.
