Kinber makes a good spray, very good, There are many self defense sprays on the market, on the net.
We did a training session at a police facility and have a certificate of proficiency, it is very good to have.

The can is only thin aluminum. Sooner or later you will get a leak in it. I suggest you wrap the can, all but the spray head with tape.

Also, dogs are pack animals. Many years ago I was out walking and at least 4-5 dogs came at me. Like a human a dogs solar plexus is in the chest-above the front legs. Fortunately, I was wearing my work boots. I picked the lead dog and kicked it in the chest with all my might. iSORRY PEOPLE-I have no intention on being bit.
