Pepper spray would stop the dog but it’s obvious they would rather practice their shooting at close range.
I know for a fact that skunk spray stops my dog every time. He’s been taught a lesson three times now and I think being sprayed just makes him hate them more.
I mean, don’t these dang cops have dogs! The only way I would shoot dog is if he had been knowing on my leg and was about to bite it off and run away with it!
