Long story short, but been recovering from some surgery stuff, but got the ok from the doc to "slowly resume" riding, meaning take it easy. Well, I was out today, trying to do just that, when out of no where comes not one, but two, big dogs ! A gym friend of mine that's a vet tech said to yell "bad dog" in a commanding voice to stun the dog with dominance. Well, apparently the dogs were not familiar with this technique, as it did not work . I thought for sure I was Milk Bones. Finally I out-sprinted the one that would just NOT let off! I don't own any pepper spray, but I don't think I would have had time to get it out anyways. I don't think this was the doc's idea of "taken it easy" but geez, at least I still had it in me to escape. Of course, I was screaming "bad dog" at the top of my lungs, no owners to be found. I love animals, and own a dog, but what it wrong wtih people ! Any advice on how to handle the chasing canines? Thanks!
