[NAGDU] Questions

Hi Melissa,

I live in northern Wisconsin on a lake and in a very country like setting.
There are quite frequently bear, skunks, coyotes etc.  On one guide dog call
I was on someone said instead of using pepper spray, they suggested to use
bug spray--like Raid or Black Flag.  They suggested that because that sort
of can can spray way further than a pepper spray can, therefore you don't
have to wait until the animal gets close enough to you for the pepper spray
to be affective.  I realize the Raid can will be bigger than the pepper
spray, but being able to spray it a further distance kind of makes sense.
If you are in a situation with a bear or a wild animal, you certainly don't
want them to get close enough to you and your dog for you to have to use a
club or stick, that may provoke a wild animal even further.

Hope that helps, Janell and the black beauties

Hi.
I have a question.  How do you handle  living in a neighborhood with lots of
wild life?, such as cowyotes.  
How do you deal with  loose dogs, and or dogs being let oub by their owners
to go after you and your guide dog?
I these situations, how do you keep your dog safe?

Sincerely, 
Melissa R. Green and Pj
