I have MANY times called Animal controll and even the Sherrif who told me 1: Stay in youre car till they are leaving ( I just went grocery shopping!!) And Animal controll told me to catch them....... UMMMMM HELLO! I dont think so!

So what do ya do there?

Personally I think its best to "teach" the owners that its not good to let their doggies run the streets. As I said before I like doggies and most of them like me. So I usually just "help" them roll in something smelly. Ive never come across a dog I couldnt charm but I suppose you could gently toss a rotten egg or two on a more stand offish doggie. And according to Mr Chickpea you can buy skunk spray.

Think of it this way. If you complain they'll get an attitute or ignore you. But. If everytime they let Fido out to run he gets all greasy and smelly and they have to give him a bath then maybe they will learn not to let him run the streets like an uncivilized heathen. Also. You are not involved. And best of all. No doggies are harmed. (Doggies loooove to roll in smelly stuff)

Hmmm. We will have to put our heads together and think of something smelly and/or greasy but non toxic that you could apply from a distance. Since you seem to be dealing with some rather unfriendlies. Im thinking you could 'apply" it with one of those kids soaker cannons.

Shoot them in the ass with a beebe gun. If you feel bad about doing that, make it an airsoft.
