I hope nothing has happenend to you and your Border Collie mixes between now and then! I am a full time dog walker, and have been attacked a couple times... the worst attack was just over a week ago. I was walking Bud, a sweet, 11 year-old Alaskan Malamute, when we were attacked by three Rottweilers - all from the same yard. I can't tell you the terror that siezes your heart in an attack - and you can't act quickly enough! The Rotts all went for Bud, not me. (This is typical when you're involved in an attack: The attacking dog's focus is usually on your dog - not you.) It was terrifying, but I managed to save Bud's life by choking the Rottweiler that had latched onto his neck. He had a choke chain on, and I slipped my hand under it and wrapped it around my hand until he passed out. The Rottweilers' owner finally came and dragged the other two off of Bud's hind legs. Bud is okay, but needed an extensive amount of stitches. My best bit of advise for you, (and you probably have already figured this out on your own) is do NOT walk your dogs in your neighborhood. The Rotties that attacked Bud were so hellbent on getting to him, that the three of them worked together to burst through their fence to do it! So don't count on a fence to protect you from big dogs. Instead, load your poochies in the car and take them to the park where there are leash laws!! Also, in case a dog pulls free from it's ownder on a walk, buy yourself a stungun. (I have just ordered one.) Not a taser gun that shoots out barbs - what if you miss, right? But a stungun that you press on the attacker and then zap them. Plus with a stungun, you can zap them several times in case there is more than one dog involved in the attack. I hope this reaches you, and I hope this helps! Ginny,

I have a question rather than a comment as follows: Would anyone like to provide some guidance please? Here is the situation... During the past two months, my neighborhood has gained six Pit Bulls and a large Boxer - all of whom are permitted to run loose. The police/animal control have been called and warnings have been issued to a couple of the owners. However, I am now extremely afraid to walk my two Border Collie mixes. Moving is not an option at the moment. It's been suggested to get the 18" Baton-style Stun Gun. A breeder I know, who has used both Stun Guns and Pepper Spray in controlling aggressive dogs, said the 17% Pepper Spray is a better choice. I would appreciate any and all input! Thanks in advance, Ginny Hi…. I have a question rather than a comment as follows: Would anyone like to provide some guidance please?
