Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire OC spray for vicious neighborhood dogs??

Sounds familiar. Hope you get it sorted without too much issue (wish in one hand, s.hit in the other - HA).

The better drama is at the other end of the this little road, guy and girl getting drunk and beating the hell out of each other couple times a month. She took a 2x4 to the garage doors on his workshop. Then crashed her car off into the culvert beside their own driveway trying to leave.

That would sell for $500k pretty easy here.

Bet the sex is great!

I trained a couple of dawgs like that. They're rip-ing over in the quarry.

I second the Bear spray idea, that stuff really works. Wasp & Hornet spray can blind them, opening you up to a lawsuit. That bear spray will be an experience they'll not want to repeat. Doberman's aren't dumb.

My dad gassed an ass-hole dog. I watched as the brindled colored mutt kept slamming its head into the sidewalk and grass after eating a muzzle full.

It worked great..On a Pit, I would prefer 147g 9mm

Give the dog a couple of pounds of chocolate.

If they only made OC spray mixed with liquid ass.

In the ten plus years I walked my unleashed heelers through the neighborhood or ran them next to my bike (these dogs stuck so close leashes were redundant) I had occasion to use bear spray eight times. IIRC four pits, two rottweilers, a boxer and a big yellow mutt.

Of course we were charged by loose dogs much more than that, most times I was able to bluff them off by yelling and posture. Many dogs too recognise and fear the motion of picking up a rock to throw.

On the occasions I had to use it the 20-30 ft blast of bear spray turned 'em around every time tho most times I missed, shot too low, in those cases just the blast would startle the dog from fight to flight.

I shot low because of the vertical nature of the bear spray can relative to the perpendicular nozzle, sorta like a handgun would with a 90 degree angle between grip and barrel (like the old Tokarevs), aim above the dog's back to hit it in the face.

The only drawback to bear spray was the cost, I replaced it each time even if I didn't use all six seconds of it, $50 a can.

I dunno if wasp spray would work as well, prob'ly would.

When I was kid, back in those days, dogs around the block would haul ass if they seen you bend down to get a rock.

My old man side armed a piece of gravel bout an inch just a heavy pebble at some snoopy/dalmatian thing in the yard once. Lucky shot, from about 75ft across the yard. Hit the mutt flat in the top of his dome. Sounded like a hollow tupperware cup. 🤣

yipe yipe yipe....he still brags about that

Late to the thread but there is no reason to torture the Dobie’s for the owner’s incompetence. They are generally smart dogs so knock the fk out of them, hit them with ammonia or if they are attacking SSS.

Lead works better.

Whatever ya do DO NOT let 'em get home. My choice is 3" #4 buck.

July 2014, crossing SE Missouri on a bicycle on my way to NY.,,,

Along this rural road an uncharacteristically vicious lab runs out of a yard and rushes me, I got off and was kept at bay, keeping the bike betwen me and the circling and snarling dog.

A guy comes out of the house an calls the dog, no response, he calls again, same thing. He explained that it was his daughter's dog, she was away at college, and the dog did not listen to him.

Finally, in frustration he picks up a softball-sized rock and whips it at the lab, missing its head by mere inches.

The dog stops, looks at the rock, looks at him, looks at the rock again, and brings it back to him

Slum, use a little aversive training with a marker ie. while you gas em' with the pepper spray give a loud strong command that will stick in their brains, associating with the trauma they're about to feel as the OC takes affect. The next time you see them out give them the same command and odds are they run for the fort, if not gas them again and repeat. They can take just so much of that stuff. I gassed a rotty many years ago.Took a few seconds to settle in deep but never saw him again after that.

Aguila Sniper Subsonic will shoot through most dogs and is a bit more discrete.

I've heard dogs like grapes.

I'm surprised paintball guns haven't been mentioned....

Or slingshots


KELLLLLLORY!!!!!
