I carry when I go for walks. Mostly because of a pit bull in the neighborhood but also because of gangs moving into the area.

I have noticed that Pit Bull owners are defiantly ignorant about the threat of their Pits. They are defensive of them until they maul a 2 year old to death, then perhaps they realize.. I thought it was just me who noticed that about pit bull owners ..... thanks for confirming what I've always believed about the ignorant SOB's.

The best posture in dealing with the dog itself, is to get down on your knee to the dogs level, and dont act agressive or fearful. Call him. You forgot: spread your cheeks and put a pork chop on your back.

I’d talk the neighbor first and let him know that if it happens again the you will not hesitate to call animal control. If you have too call, make sure that it states that the dog was “AT LARGE” or off the owners property and not being controlled by the owner. Dog owners have the responsibility to keep their dogs within their control and on their property - they need to install one of those invisible fences (they work like a charm).

Cats are not stupid. Ive seen cats completely intimidate dogs. Its not likely ONE dog will terrorize the cats. That usually takes a pack of dogs. Worst advice of the thread.

If he is lucky, it will not be a long term thing. And it should not be. Your dogs are much different than pitbulls.

Wrong answer. Do not talk to owner of dog. Right. Just shoot the dog and be done with it. New (dumbass ignorant pit bull owner) should've known better than to let an aggressive breed dog run loose.
F'em.

Well, I was assuming you had not met before and if so the conversation of the dogs behavior and being loose would have been quick and to the point. I know I would be shamed if I failed to secure my dogs for everyones safety including the dogs. Of course having animal control make a visit is always an option. I know you are trying to be nice about it, and all. But if you felt like the dog is a threat, treat it as one. I know that I would shake the hand of anyone who shot one of my dogs if they attacked and if I failed to do my duty as a pet owner.

Invisible fences work. But then you rely on your neighbor. Being pro-active, can you get a Dillon Aero on a tripod?

When I was a boy and had a paper route (the really old days) I used to carry two things with me for aggressive dogs: a squirt gun filled with ammonia and water and an 18” chunk of an old axe handle (solid, yes really solid ash). The squirt gun was for the little nippers that would nip as I rode by. A good squirt in the face and they would stop at the property line after that. For those big dogs (with what I call a Progressive attitude) a solid whack on the snout (and I would make sure I could get a good whack just as they were ready to bite) was reserved for the others. There is nothing more painful and instructive than a whack on the nose of a dog. 95% of dogs I never had a problem with but the others pretty well mirrored their masters. Please note that in either case were the dogs permanently harmed (police officers might take note).

Your cats will be killed by this dog within the next 30 days. I lost both my cats. Neighbor woman lost her small dog in this same situation.

I have my right to carry permit and take my gun outside even to go to the mailbox or walk the dog for reasons just like this. Id think nothing of shooting a pitbull that charged me, my dog or family. Unlike Mastador1, you are welcome to live in my neighborhood anytime!
