Instructions
Use a canine pepper spray, which is sold by a number of companies. Pepper spray is useful for joggers and walkers or any person who is confronted with an attacking dog. These sprays are EPA approved, non-lethal and safe to use on animals. A small burst of pepper sprayed in the dog's facial area causes a painful irritation that wears off after several minutes.
Immobilize a dog attack with a stun baton used by many animal control departments on aggressive dogs. The baton is 18 inches long and generates a high-voltage shock on contact, causing no permanent harm to the dog. The shock creates a loud cracking sound, which in itself may scare off the attacking dog.
Use a smaller stun gun to repel the dog at a closer range. A company called Streetwise sells a mini stun gun that is 3 inches long -- about the same size as a cell phone. This product is intended for dog walkers to carry for protection. It releases a powerful 1 million volts of shock with a loud cracking noise similar to the stun baton.
Stop an attack at a farther distance with a Taser C2 Personal Protector stun gun. The Taser C2 offers a shooting range of up to 15 feet by releasing two small probes, which shock the attacking dog. This taser uses the same technology as the law enforcement model delivering a high-voltage signal to cause neuromuscular incapacitation. The compact size is easy to carry and lightweight.
