When I walk dogs I carry pepper spray (used by postal workers and guaranteed to deter aggressive dogs), a stun gun and a knife. I do this when I walk my own dog because he was attacked by a fighting pitbull. Have full confidence I can stop that from happening again. For your dog and mine. Spent many hours learning about deterring aggressive dogs. I am especially good with dogs. I have owned a dog almost my entire life. Usually labradors. I am home almost all the time unless I’m going shopping. I love having the extra company of animals. Can be there in a moments notice or emergency. I prefer to use harnesses because I don’t like to walk a dog by his neck. I have all different sizes of harnesses if you don’t have one. They are top-of-the-line. Extremely safe and comfy. I am well trained and will quickly become buddies with your pet.
