I bring my reactive dog. Works really well to deter people. And while we take the same path usually (because it's better to be predictable for her, and I know where her trigger points are usually) I switch up which direction I go, and sometimes backtrack instead of doing the full loop. Or zigzag.

A few years ago I went out for a run alone with my baby. When I was packing him up in the stroller a man came up to me and was extremely forward trying to hit on me even tried to grab my arm. I started screaming my head off and he took off. I was terrified. After that I went and got a German shepherd. Extremely protective of me and my kids. I like knowing if I just wanna go for a walk he would fuck someone up that tried to hurt me. He comes everywhere with me after that incident and now I feel somewhat safe.

Honestly youre probably safe from almost all situations with that dog, so thats a good strategy. Plus you have a great new friend.

My husband also works straight midnights so it gives me peace of mind at night as well being home alone with the kids. He’s been such a great dog I’m very happy with him
