She likes flamethrowers…

She could go on “The Apprentice”, give new meaning to the phrase “You’re fired!”.

Unfortunately, we live in a society where the courts are as corrupt as the day is long, conviction/acquittal is politically (or financially) decided, you’re essentially guilty until proven innocent (traffic court, anyone?), and you pretty much need to record with a camera every aspect of your daily life to “prove” your innocence in case it’s ever brought into question.

You’re not the least bit cynical, are you? Most judges do a good job of staying fair and unbiased, and the twelve jurors help insure fairness for the vast majority of litigants. Although, it could be a regional thing… in certain mega metros like your own, and maybe even in some tiny podunks where everybody knows everybody, all bets could be off.

Do these ultrasonic contraptions work?

Amazon.com

Otherwise, you may need to find yourself a new cologne:

Sometimes they work, sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t as far I have seen when out with people that had such devices, the same device had different reactions from different dogs.

Good luck getting to a trial. “Please guilty to a lesser charge or we’ll throw the book at you while you sit in county for months.

You punch some people in the nose, they collapse.
You punch others in the nose, and they forget what pain is.

The only certainty with life is that it always has a surprise up it’s sleeve.

good points
my interpretation

the sonic devices are Heard by the dog
what the dog does next depends on their conditioning

the sound gets their attention, but what they do after that depends on whether the dog has learned that after the sound comes a treat, or some skunk piss

for the OP
I think adding a dog whistle and some treats (or skunk piss) to the walk,
could prove an interesting option to train the dog

I agree just blowing a whistle wont change the dogs behavior, its just a way to get his attention, and to train him to associate the sound with either a reward or a punishment

Majoroverkill · 2019-10-14T06:31:42.000Z

The BLF GT. Fry the eyes and accidently drop it on the dogs cranium with a little added force like hitting a homer, that should do it and while your at it you can fry the dogs human eyes as well, all good! :+1:

monkeyman77 · 2019-10-15T02:45:58.000Z

the humans is the main issue . it aint every hard to teach a dog whats right or wrong

jon_slider · 2019-10-15T03:15:35.000Z

the humans think their dog is fine and its the human (you), that are the problem, otherwise their dog would not have picked you out

but those humans probably wont mind if you convince their dog that you have treats and whenever you blow the whistle, the dog runs out to greet you

the humans might even be impressed
offer them beer

and resist the temptation to whip out the bear spray

The only light I’ve seen that would do the trick is the trunk light from the Malibu in Repo Man. How you’d get a dog to open and look in a car trunk is another issue…

monkeyman77 · 2019-10-15T03:34:27.000Z

now i just cross the street which sucks becuaase this street is so dang busy its like the turnpike busy

None of our suggestions worked? Which did you try?
I’m not being judgemental, just curious and wish you had a better solution than crossing the street.
Be safe.

well considering if it fails id be dog bit . i wasnt going to take the risk but im glad i asked for advice because it reminded me how bad a dog bite can be. then i started to think dogs are from wolfs and wolfs cn kill huge animals . if i walk the ther way there is no dogs but man o man the terain is so hard to get a solid foot on the ground

Jeeze, I hope we didn’t make the situation worse than it really is. You have survived passing thru the battle zone, right?
Then probably the dog isn’t a “Natural Born Killer” worthy of a 40mm ’tween the eyes.
Butt you are the sole witness and caretaker of your own skin, so you be the judge of what works for you.
Take care and carry a big light.
