RE: Making Friends and Enemies With Stray Dogs
Yes, tell us more about your experiences with stray dogs. Loved reading this piece. It also has a DIY guide to make a Basher™. But I seriously think that Nash can use something better and harmless defense.
So how has his defense evolved by now? Or you have never been to Jaibalito again? Do share.
Since we left Jaibalito, we've only had good experiences with dogs, so we retired the Basher™. It was definitely more a tool to build Nash's confidence than an actual weapon, and I am relieved he never had to swing it at a dog - they've already been through so much!
I would probably use a fruit in a sock as a deterrent again (something soft that moved and looked scary seemed to do the trick), unless you have ideas for a gentler defense.
