Re: [RC] [RC] From Cat to dogs charging - AmySome dogs that come out at you and are barking their heads off do so because they are fearful and they want to scare off the intruder before something bad happens. This is the problem with fear aggressive dogs, some people think they are just "protective", but really it's just that they are unconfident dogs who think it's best to act big and tough. For dogs like this that you have to pass often, you could even carry treats with you and throw them to the dog. Pretty soon they will think horses going by is a really good thing. Don't think this would work on a charging dog with the intent to attack though. When I was a kid, we'd run past this one house with two dogs who'd always come out and chase us, but not for long. Then one day I decided to walk by, surprise, the dogs didn't come out and chase us. I'm definitely going to use the turn around and chase the dog thing this year.
