I think this is the best way... try giving them a treat instead. If they don't warm up to you after a few times, call them into animal services.

Yeah, or talk to the owners. Maybe they only react like that to sadistic little pricks who like to hurt animals.


:D

Edit: Didn't you volunteer for that Biblebeater group? And doesn't that mean you are supposed to value life and not cause unneeded harm to creatures?

How about I invite them out for a beer so we can talk about our problems?

Sorry, if a dog is attacking me it's going to get maced, tasered, or flat out kicked in the face.

Barking != attacking. But didn't the Bible say something about firing the other gun when you feel threatened? Maybe worded slightly differently, but that's what it meant, right?

What's with the bible crap? This is a DOG, a dog that's trying it's best to tear me a new asshole. The biblically correct thing to do would be to rip it in half. (See Judges 14)

Actually, a better idea would be to sneak up on the owner's bedroom window and use the airhorn on them! :) Let them know what it feels like to be scared sh1tless at 5AM. :) :evil:

Or tape the button on the airhorn down so it keeps going off... blast the dogs... then throw the horn through their bedroom window. ;)

Bear sprary is probably your best bet. Ultra high concentration pepper spray. After once or twice they would probably be scared sh!tless of you and any aerosol can. Just realize that if you use it on someone else's pet you are breaking the law.

I have a car, genius, I'm not legal to drive (too blind).

I'm not terribly concerned about breaking the law, I'll just say I thought it was coming through the fence & I didn't want to get mauled.

I used to have a similar problem. I used to ride my bike to work about 3-4 miles. No big deal, right? I wouldn't break a sweat unless is was hot out... or I had to go by a vicious dog, which is exactly what would happen. On the last uphill stretch before work (like quarter mile to go, that's all) there was this freem roaming dog, NOT behind a fence. I could go faster on the bike, uphill or not, but not by much. It was no fun, let me tell you.

Then my bike gets stolen, and nobody can give me a ride one day. I'm moving out of town in a couple of weeks, but I have to get to work and there's no bus. So I have to walk/jog. Doggie is unleashed, but I can tell from a distance. He snarls, but doesn't come too close, because I walk back down the hill, around the corner.

At this point, I have no choice but to hitch-hike, because an alternate route would take another hour walking. So out goes the thumb. What do you know, but the guy driving said his wife was something like the head of whatever to get loose dogs leashed! (no kidding, I wish I remember exactly what her position was called)

The next day I've gotten my beater bike back in good enough shape to handle the ride to work, because I figure the guy was BSing me. Go figure... the dog was leashed and remained so the rest of the time I was in town. Amazing, but true.

Moral of the story? Hitchhiking is good for your health!

next time, bring a chair and some sandwiches, sit down in front of them and start to eat, smile at them, when they have calmed down throw a sandwich or two to them, shouldnt bother you much again

Hey ViperGTS - some catalogs have ultrasonic dog repellent devices that basically annoy them too much to bother barking at you. It's supposed to work well.

Either that or bring them treats everyday.

If you don't feel like talking to the owners (I wouldn't and it would be a bit akward at 5:15a, and who wants to mess w/ that after work...)

Maybe call animal care and control when you get to work and let them know the board broke once and the fence looks like it's going to fail. Maybe they'll refer you to the city or maybe they'll investigate and talk to the owners. Who knows, maybe they are being negligent in their caregiving and the dogs will be taken away?

In the meantime, I'd certainly keep the taser or mace handy in case they actually do get out. Until then you really shouldn't mess w/ 'em.

---

There was a mini-farm by our old house. (a plot of land in the city, that just hadn't been bought out yet). I used to ride by it on my bike all the time. At one point they had a few lab's that ran wild. Usually they'd stop at the main gate after barking and growling their way towards me.

I thought they were semi-trained based on that. One day, they came right out after me, fortunately I was a little bit faster. Still, it scared the crap outta me. I think they realized they went to far, as I rode off they disappared back to the farm.

Wild Angry Dogs suck. But at least they weren't mutant ones like the Hulk Movie. :D

I used to work for a lady that bred Rottweilers. She always told me if I ever had a problem with one of the dogs I should hit them as hard as I could with whatever I had handy square on the top of the head and not to worry about hurting them.

If you walk by every morning and mace the suckers, they're just going to get more and more pissed off, and eventually break through that fence one day. I would suggest bringing some dog treats with you in the morning and first throw them over the fence. Once the dogs eat those, if they calm down, try to feed them some through the fence (don't try to feed them out of your hand yet, though!!!). If you keep doing this, hopefully, they'll start to expect treats in the morning, and be happy when they sense you approaching instead of viciously attacking.

And then comes the day he forgets to bring the treats.... ;)

Buy some protection and quit worrying about whether it might get out or not. Personally, if it did get out and come after me, I'd prefer to crush its skull, but you might rather carve it up. Fvck the dog and its owners.

buy one of those high pitched whistles that only doggies can hear. The ones that are used for training or what not.
