Anyone use an air horn to get dogs out of the way while running?

After you are done with dogs head on down to the golf course

On a recent run, someone actually asked me to hold their pitbull by the collar whilst he tried to get his dogs on a lead. It was barking at me as I was approaching but thankfully she was timid. If I used an air horn I think I would have spooked them.

That's why I personally prefer the peace and quiet of the open road (or trail!). It allows me to focus on my form, get lost in the rhythm of my breath, and maybe even hear that inspirational chipmunk cheering me on.
Now, don't get me wrong, there are times when a good pump-up playlist can be just what the doctor ordered. But for those long runs where you really need to dig deep, there's something almost meditative about ditching the tunes and just being present in the moment. It's like hitting the reset button on your mind and body. And this, in turn, knows that having achieved this harmony, even these very dogs on the road will not bother you and you will not need to use an . Find harmony!11 -
If they come near you just a swift kick in the mouth will send them scrambling

Some of these responses are quite highhhhhlarious. As if, you 98 pound runners or fat old joggers would do something that would cause conflict with others. Sure old people and little kids but I'd venture to say that you'd get the shiiiite kicked out of you doing some of these manouevers. Either that or do it once, run away and then can never run that route again. LOL tough guys.
How about just be a decent person and know that these trivial inconveniences aren't going to ruin your life? Either that or unload some revenge fantasy rage on the internet, right?
