In the News: Dog-on-Dog Attacks
June 9th, 2015
In recent news, there have been numerous reports of dog-on-dog attacks.
"Animal Control wasn't coming. They recommended to 'let the dog loose.' Det. Soffe was heard to say, 'He wants me to let the dog go but I can't, because it will go after those other dogs.' So he transferred the dog in his police car," recalled Cottonwood Heights resident Elizabeth Perkins. "If you own a dog that is friendly with people but hates other dogs, please know that it can get out accidentally and the result could be someone's beloved friend dying horribly. Other dog owners, get pepper spray."
While dog lovers hate to think of one canine doing harm to another, the truth is that dog-on-dog attacks, like the one described above, happen - and can cause serious injury and even death. Here are just a few of the recent stories to give you an idea of how prevalent this issue really is:
- Animal control investigating dog-on-dog attack
via The Montana Standard - Rant to canine owner for dog-on-dog attack; rave for those who offered help

via Nanaimo Daily News - Dog-on-Dog Attack on Avalon Drive West; Deceased Cat on 106
via New Canaanite - Letter: Dog owners should get pepper spray to protect their pets

As is apparent in these stories, dog-on-dog attacks tend to put emotional, financial and legal stress on the owner(s) involved. To help avoid time-consuming strain, dog spray can quell aggressive behavior without leaving lasting harm on either dog.

Antidote to sabre red
I have sabre red just in case a loose dog becomes dangerous while I am walking mine on leash. If an altercation occurs, my dogs are likely to be sprayed, also, as the dogs will not be standing still if a stray dog is coming at them. How do I mitigate the effects of sabre red on my dogs in that case? Thank you.

Antidote to Sabre Red in case of 'blowback"
I am surprised and dismayed no one has answered this by now, but I'll throw in a couple of things I've learned since my Border Collie got rolled by an enormous (>85#) mastiff mix. First of all, she's ok, by the Grace of Whomever was running the Show that day, and by the choice of that dog who had her whole abdomen in his jaws but he didn't bite down. Sadly, I've heard since, he killed another dog. He's in Animal Control now.
I asked my mailman what he carried to ward off dog attacks, and he showed me 3 small (by my standards) canisters. (I have a big, ol' bear spray one which I now carry every time we're outside.) So, the mailman showed me how he just 'poofs' a little behind him as he walks to discourage a following dog from continuing to stalk him. He demonstrated how he does that and PING! a light went off!
Hey! You don't have to empty the entire canister on the attacker all at once!
And you can use it proactively!
Brilliant!
So, I would suggest you try it out somewhere away from your dogs and just see how it sprays, how much it sprays, and how far.
I learned you can ward off an attack by a little proactive poof behind you, or *poof* then change your direction. Which means, your dogs don't have to be in the middle of some horrible attack before you unload on the bad guys. These can stop the stalk 12-15 feet away, which is plenty close as I observed first-hand.
Yell "NO!" as big as you can. Did it slow them down? No? POOF! Them. Don't wait til they are closer, just poof them out there. Say you're sorry if they had good intentions, and say Yay! if they had bad ones. Either way, you and your dogs are not bleeding all over the sidewalk, and neither is the bad dog.
I'll save some for the irate owner who said his dog was friendly when you could see it clearly was NOT. Just sayin
