subject: Self Defense-dog Attack Prevention Checklist [print this page] Walking, running, cycling and jogging is not as popular here as it is in Europe. Europeans are used to walking or cycling almost everywhere. Maybe that's why Europeans are in much better shape and have much less incidence of diabetes than Americans do.
They seem much more active than their 'new country' counterparts here in the US. Yet millions and millions of Americans every year walk, run, cycle and jog either alone, with a friend or with their trusty sidekick- their dog.
One of the biggest threats to this great outdoor exercise is to be attacked by a dog or a pack of dogs. It happened to me one time and if you've ever experienced it, it is something you will never forget.
Nearly 5,000,000 Americans get bit by a dog annually, with close to 1 million needing medical treatment. Of those nearly half are kids. Those requiring medical treatment close to a half-million need emergency room care. There is several things that you can do for your self defense and self defense against dogs-dog defense.
Here is a self defense dog attack prevention checklist to stop a charging dog. See how to stop a dog attack.
1.Don't ever approach a dog you don't know.
2.Always let a dog sniff you first before trying to pat it.
3.Never turn your back and run away from a dog.
4.Don't bother a sleeping or eating dog.
5.Don't try and take a toy away from a dog.
6.Be very cautious around dogs.
7.Carry some self defense products with you when you're walking, jogging or cycling.
There are several self defense products that are very good. The first is a canine repellent that uses ultrasonic sound it humans can't hear. The second is the telescopic stun baton that extends to 21 inches, and electrifies 800,000 volts at the touch of a button.
And perhaps the best is Mace Pepper Gun, which has a range of 25 feet and is loaded with 10% oleoresin capsicum (OC) for the best protection against dog attacks.
Follow these tips for the checklist and carry some defensive tools and you may avoid a dangerous dog attack.
A 10% solution of OC spray is illegal in some jurisdictions. So check the internet or your local sheriff's department first before getting some.
P.S. The telescopic stun baton and pepper gun works very well on human assailants too.
Be proactive in your defense against dog attacks. When are you getting some?
