What should you do if your dog is attacked?

You can also open an umbrella into an oncoming dog’s face. Visual and physical barrier.



That’s a great idea as well as the flexi-leash swinging handle, very effective as well.

There’s an old guy in my neighborhood who walks with a 7 iron golf club in his hand (he doesn’t have a dog). The first time I saw him I said something like “wow, that must have been quite the slice if you’re out here looking for your ball!” :D. He humorlessly told me he uses the golf club on dogs that approach him. I thought it was a bit much frankly… Whenever I see him when I’m walking my dog I always detect a slight sense of disappointment from him that my dog doesn’t get close enough for him to use it.
