[RC] charging dogs... - Jennifer AdamMy mare hates dogs, so she'll charge them if I let her. Most dogs will back off as soon as I turn her to face them and start hollering at them - she makes these really nasty faces and opens her mouth at them and I yell like a wild woman. But one farm has a Rottweiler and a German Shepherd and those dogs are *mean* - I don't want Gypsy any closer to them than she has to be!! When we ride past them I carry a can or two filled with gravel and I shake it at them when we go by. (It took some time to get Gypsy used to the sound). If they make any move toward us I throw it at them and yell. I've managed to hit them both a few times so now all I have to do is raise my arm and make a little rattle and they back off. But I like the idea of squirt guns... might try that next time I need to chase away a dog...Good luck, Jen Adam _________________________________________________________________ Rates near 39yr lows! $430K Loan for $1,399/mo - Paying Too Much?
