dog kicking training.
Jeet Kune Dog ?
Otherwise I might need dog kicking training.
Or a gun.
Definitely a gun.
You gotta send it to end it. (Just make sure the owner isn't watching at the time).
Mate and I had some dog go for our ankles as we rode past. It began chasing us so we let it chase us (trail was going down) for a few km... Going fast enough that it couldn't catch us, but slow enough that we didn't lose it.
The following week we saw "lost dog" posters around the entrance to the woods. Felt a bit guilty.
Next time take a water bottle with a strong solution of a sugary, fruity drink in it. Squirt the little rat-dog & it will probably run away, to be left with a sticky residue all over It's fur. No harm done.
Failing that, kick it's lips off.
It needs to learn its position in the food chain. I hate cruelty to animals but they need to know their place. Kicking is bad tho as it can cause serious injury. Christ I hate aggressive dogs 😦 sheep dogs my worst nightmare on the bike
There was an interesting case of a dog/jogger kick interface near to me last month.

The text from the article is below:
A dog has died after she was allegedly kicked repeatedly by a jogger and fled into oncoming traffic.
Officers from Gloucestershire Constabulary have launched an investigation after the black cockapoo named Lucy was allegedly attacked in Churchdown Park Recreation ground on Thursday afternoon, May 3.
Reports on social media say that the pet approached the jogger "in a friendly manner" while they were running through the village.
It is alleged the jogger and the owner had an argument before the jogger kicked the dog under the chin which became confused and ran out onto the Golden Valley bypass.
Reports are Lucy was struck several times and later died.
A string of posts detailing what is alleged to have happened appeared in a Facebook group.
In the thread one woman said: “I’ve just heard that the jogger kicked her under the chin several times and she got confused and disorientated and ran off onto the Golden Valley and was hit several times.
“I feel sick. I have met Lucy and I have a cockapoo and all they want to do is make friends.”
Laura Ravenscroft said: “It happened on Thursday around 5pm, I got there just after it had happened and we all looked for Lucy.
“There were some witnesses and the police are involved so I really hope they catch this evil man.
“Fingers crossed the police hunt him down. Devastated to hear Lucy didn’t make it, thoughts go to her and her owner.”
The article is obviously written with sympathy towards the dog owner and no attempt to balance the facts. I do not think that any jogger would kick a dog without good reason and no further articles have been published about the police tracking down and charging the jogger.
My take is that the dog owner is at fault for allowing her animal to annoy other members of the public and should be held liable for any damages to vehicles that hit her out of control mutt - it was fortunate that no serious road accident happened because of this.
