Leash laws are in place for a reason.  Tired of being charged while walking my small dog.  Please be a responsible dog owner and put a leash on it!  I have purchased dog repellant after too many incidents. 4951

It's too bad the dog has to suffer due to ignorant owners. Use the spray on the owners instead. 4951

It's an irritant that subdues the dog long enough to retreat.  Please know that I love animals.  Just feel the need to protect myself and my pooch.  I will not use unless no other option. 4951

I used to ask my kids to walk the dogs for me on occasion, but I stopped asking for fear of a big, loose dog attacking my tiny pups. Teenage boys would have no idea how to handle that situation. Heck, I don't even know! Thank goodness that has never happenned to us. 4951

Spraying the owners isn't going to help when you are being charged by a dog...... 4951

@Heathur:
Pepper spray- and I don't blame him!!! I confronted a runner a while back who got belligerent when I called her out about her unleashed dog!! I have a big Lab in training and her dog was unleashed!! Her response? "Your dog is more aggressive than Mine!" Really????? Because "Your dog is showing 3 signs of imminent attack and mine is not- he is showing 0 aggression and 100% untrained!"
Ugh- she had no response and did not leash the dog. I've considered carrying my pepper spray recently too!! So very tired of BS dog owners who don't leash their dogs! In 13 years here and daily walking- I've seen 1 yes-1 dog that was extremely obedience trained off lead. I put my dog at sit/stay ( he was on lead) and complimented her on her and her dog's training. Sadly I have not seen her this year- Emoticon 4951

@topcat: I've dealt with dogs charging while both on a bike and while running. Being on foot is scarier but what's worked for me is - GET YOUR BAD A** ON- be an Alpha leader. All dogs know the word NO!! But you have to say it from the diaphragm / deep down - be the boss and mean it. Not way up in the throat high pitched scream- that eggs them on. It has worked every time for me - except for one dog- Sneaky Pete. Sneaky Pete was an Australian Shepherd who lived on Morgan Cemetary Rd. Every weekend we'd ride through there and every weekend he'd lay in waiting.... For me and no one else. There could be 10 cyclists in front of me and he'd wait for me. I would scan the field.for him and never see him- he would come a flying up behind barking his head off and chase me. I figured out that he wasn't about aggression or attacking- he just loved to chase me and only me. I haven't see him in almost 2 years. He's the only dog I let chase me- RIP Sneaky Pete

I'm so glad everyone in our subdivision walks their dogs on a leash , it's the law & everyone here follows the rules , I even saw a woman with a ferret on a leash the other day & I thought it was a small  wiener dog (LOL) imagine my surprise when she got close enough for me to see what it was (LOL) 4951

I agree that there are too many irresponsible dog owners in KW lately who allow their dogs to roam.  Carry mace and use it if a dog charges you or is aggressive to you or your canine companions.  The thought that uttering the word NO will stop an attack from an aggressive territorial dog is ridiculous.  No one wants to be bit and possibly have to take a series of anti rabies shots or get killed or maimed.  Lately Kingwood has become a dumping ground for strays due to the lack of commitment by Houston's BARC.   4951

@jpgurl I like that name Sneaky Pete! I've confronted lots of strays & unleashed dogs as a dog walker & luckily have been able to get control of the situation by being hyper alpha. I've also got an arsenal of expletives for anyone who's dumb enough to have an untrained dog off lead in public.  4951

@doddlebug: When there's no alternative ( as in you are not carrying pepper spray or a gun- saying NO In an alpha voice may just save your life!!!!!). It has NEVER failed me and trust Me I've come across many aggressive dogs as a cyclist and a runner. For someone who always spouts their "knowledge" about dogs you surprise me!!!
So what gives? 4951

@OhHappyPets: Lol I don't know what his name really was but that's what I started calling him because he was sooo sneaky- always hiding in the grass and sneaking up behind me just when I thought it was safe!

When I bike the neighborhood I carry my little pink stun gun. When a dog charges me I push the button on that thing and it makes a super loud cracking sound which never fails to turn the dog around.  4951
