What's the safest thing to do when approached by an angry dog? General Dog Discussions
This happens a lot when I'm walking my beagle. I don't know how to defend him or even if I should. Sometimes my dog seems excited about the other dog and other times his hackles go up. Should I assume he is a good judge of the other dog's behavior? Even so, then what do I do? I've heard pepper spray is a no-no and maybe a dog whistle would work? Thoughts?PS - We have a leash law here. Some people ignore it though. These people apparently don't know how aggressive their dogs are when they're not around. Not very responsible dog owners. Hope they don't do the same with their kids...
