Likely since writing this, I've moved to an area where dogs without leases is almost unheard of. Although now and then I do visit my old stomping-around and find that I have to either carry pepper spray or be ready to battle cry technique. If I get a chance at picking on of those ultrasonic devices up I'm going to just to see if it's effective or not. <p>@Julie, I feel your pain. I know exactly how it is. Luckily I've recently moved to an area where I don't find dogs unleashed but I still get unnerved if I see a dog while running even if it is on a lease :(</p> @May, I still have not tried out the ultrasonic devices.

@Julie, I feel your pain. I know exactly how it is. Luckily I’ve recently moved to an area where I don’t find dogs unleashed but I still get unnerved if I see a dog while running even if it is on a lease :(

Even if the dog is not out to bite us, it still creates a big issue for me because it makes it quite hard to control my dogs. I get very cranky when I have to deal with someone's loose dog even as I am trying valiently to control my own. Three times this month when faced with a loose dogs, I have put my arms out wide and then SCREAMED "STOP!" and it seems to work. I have begun carrying a big stick with me, too. Last night, I aimed my stick at the dog while yelling at the owners "GET YOUR DOG!". I am so weary of j@ck@ss people who can't understand the issue their loose dog creates for me. I ran across your article while I was trying to find information online about using a solution of ammonia/water in a spray bottle for further protection. Or, maybe vinegar and water. Thanks for the good article and the good tips. Happy Cycling! I often encounter loose dogs as I am walking my two greyhounds.

Thanks for sharing you expertise due to your unfortunate experiences! It is one of my concerns since I recently started running. I'm curious if you have ever had the opportunity to try those ultrasonic devices that are supposed to deter dogs. What a useful article.
