Dog Chasings...Advice?

[musicalmarf]

My biker Dad taught me how to yell at them. Timing is everything. When the dog gets about 10 feet away, yell out a very fierce, low, ferocious "YYYYaaahh!" Begin the yell very suddenly and percussively. Don't be one bit civilized nor lady-like. Translated, the yell should mean, "Get away from me, dog, before I rip your stinkin' gizzard out!'" The dog will invariably jump and reverse his direction! I haven't be bitten yet, nor have I really had to rip out any gizzards. It does make my throat sore for a mile or so!

Do you think I could scare them off with my yodeling if I'm really loud?

Whoa, no way Lisa. You can yodel? That rocks!

One of the families from our church went to Yellowstone this past summer and one of their kids did a young naturalist/ranger program. They told the kids that if they ever turned around and saw a bear, they were supposed to hold their arms out, stand up tall and start singing as loudly as they could. But I suppose if you're doing this with regards to a dog, you'd need to start singing/yodeling before the dog decides to give chase. If a bear came after me, I wouldn't stand there and sing.

You'd be singing your "swan song"!
