Here at THE HOME SECURITY SUPERSTORE, we are frequently asked questions like ***“I was attacked by a dog while out walking, what should I get to protect myself?”***.
This is a great question, here is what you need to consider when protecting yourself from an attacking dog.
- Maintain Distance: You want to make sure you’ve got at least an arms-length or more between you and an attacking dog. This will prevent you, and your pet from being bitten.
- Make A Loud Noise: As most dog owners can tell you, a very loud noise will spook any dog. All stun guns produce a very loud electrical arc crackling noise that will scare away most attacking dogs.
- Strong Stopping Power: Plenty of companies will falsely claim that their stun guns emit millions, even billions of volts of electricity and other inflated numbers. Our research has found that all stun guns top out at 100,000 volts, which is more than enough to disable an attacking dog.
What We Recommend:
Stun Batons: This elongated self-defense striking baton maintains distance from an attacking dog and is extra powerful and loud as they have the largest batteries. All of our stun batons have built-in flashlights, ideal for walking at night.
Stun Flashlights: Although smaller in length than our striking stun batons, stun flashlights are perfect if you live in the state of California, where stun batons are banned.
