How will pepper spray do against any of these dogs?
I have it, I carry it, but if it will just tick them off, I would rather carry something else.
It depends. Some dog breeds have been bred to fight each other. A dog that has mistaken an easy Sunday afternoon for a life or death situation is not going to be swayed by pepper spray.
The comments at 3:50 are some of of the best comments I’ve ever heard about some dog breeds.

Having said that, I do not keep protection with me when letting my dog run, it’s a Brittany, but I always have control over my dog and we will walk away from any kind of herding or fighting breed.
Those *horrible* “personal sirens” some women carry will freak out the average dog.
Sounds like a shrieking air raid siren going off.
You have to use something that totally is beyond the realm of a dog’s normal mental processes.
A blaring siren sure fits that bill....and hurts their ears something fierce.
Twice on walks my dog has been attacked by dogs twice his height. He being a scrappy terrier managed to lock on to the attacking dogs necks. I couldn't get him to let go. I spreyed him with pepper spray on his nose. After about 20 seconds he let go. Pepper spray dosage is meant for humans. They use the stuff on bears but with a much higher dosage.
