Whilst running in Turkey last year we had a number of close encounters with monster dogs. Not wishing to go through a similar experience this year, we looked for some sort of repellent that may deter them from attack. After having dispensed with the idea of lasers, thermonuclear weapons, etc, we came across the Dog off.
Has anyone tried one of these? Do they work? Could they scare off a determined hound of Dracula the size of a donkey? Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks

I used one with mixed results.
Some dogs seemed to balk away, other ignored it. With others it was hard to tell if they would have veered away anyway.
In the end I got fed up carrying it and just changed my route to avoid dogs.
It is better to have a stun gun. (But this is a last resort). Or make friends with the dog - if you see him often.
