My grandma has told me she has to be ready to get back to her backdoor at any moment and she can only go so many feet away from the house for fear that she can't make it inside when the dog comes. Gillman the dog is running up and down the fence line barking and up until this evening was jumping over the fence at his discretion and pretty much chasing her back inside. After snarling at her through the door for a bit he jumps back over. He has to scramble to get over so that is enough of a head start for her to book it inside, but she is limited to about 10rds from the door.

The owner put the dog on a chain however he still jumps the fence while on the freaking chain. I told her that shooting it is out of the question now and she is stuck with this annoyance for th time being. In my opinion it's time for a higher fence to be built but of course the renter is not going to split the cost...

This may be a dumb question but how effective is bear spray or OC spray on dogs?

She should start spraying the mess out of him every time he wants to come over for a visit. Maybe after a few sprays he would start thinking his yard isn't so bad after all

or the one time she doesnt have the spray he may exact revenge.

I say give him meat or lead/ friend or dead.

In most cities its illegal...and dangerous to chain a dog down.
A chained down dog will get more and more aggressive.
At this point ...multiple calls to animal control.. until they do something about it...now.!
Spraying the dog is cruel, if his behaviour cant be changed, and nobody seems to be willing to do that ,then it has to end!.
If hes that people vicious he will eventually bite someone....to the rescue people ..or put down if nobody wants to put the work in to socialize him.
To answer your original question...at this point,..legality goes out the window...in my yard ,animal acting vicious, I may get bit ....but one to the center of the eyes....yea Ill let him get that close, command voice to stop.....then whatever happens.
Edit:I dont know if Grandma can do this ...it may be up to you....Good Luck
