Pepper spray may be an idea if it is legal here.
Boil up some chilli peppers, load the spicy water into a water pistol or spray bottle and give the most aggressive mutt a facefull.
Plain water is just as effective and not as cruel.

(Though in a real dog vs human skirmish I take the humans side, I could never subject a dog to the painful days long effect of that)

Apparently, water and vinegar works a treat without the agony.

Diluted Household ammonia cleaner is also a strong disincentive in a spray device.
In case you think agony is good.

Kill persistent offenders with poisoned snacks.
You poisoning dogs around phnom penh? Bad form
It's not bad form if the dog has bitten you more than once and badly enough to require doctors appointments and injections, attacked you on numerous occasions, chased you over a hundred times and you have politely asked the owner to please control their dog and should you get bitten or attacked one more time the dog's life will be in danger.

It's called the pecking order, dude. Get over it.. [Mod edit: no need for name calling]
Well, I have no idea wtf you get up to that one dog sent you to the E.R more than once and chased you over a hundred times; how does that happen? Was it just you this dog chased, or did it chase all the other people it saw daily and bite them also? If so, how come it had to come down to you poisoning it?

I've put ill dogs down before when they were going die anyhow to end suffering, but if I ever find myself skulking around poisoning other people's dogs then something will have gone badly wrong.

Yeah alright Cesar, we're not all The Dog Whisperer

Just pretend to throw rocks at them. They flee.

Yeah. Old trick, but it works.

Apart from when it doesn't of course. Not all dogs are completely stupid

If plain water works that's obviously the better way to go about it and you'd be more likely to have a bottle of water on you than home made pepper spray. I wouldn't have thought the pepper spray sting would last more than a couple of hours at most but then I don't know anything about it. I was picturing an unpleasant but relatively harmless concoction that would take the fight out of them, distract them for a few minutes and make them think you weren't worth chasing in the future. A bit like a mild electric shock.

That being said though, if I genuinely thought I was about to get attacked by vicious, uncontrolled dogs and for whatever reason wasn't able to scare them off or better, avoid them, I'd have no problem blasting them with some pepper spray if I had some on me.

I've always been a dog person. I've had stupid little yappy house dogs snap at me, been chased on my bike or when running a few times, had a pack of mangy street dogs come at me and threaten me once in Indonesia but I've always generally felt confidant around dogs.

I got a pretty nasty bite a couple of years ago though by a dog that had always been my buddy and ever since then I've never completely trusted dogs I don't know really well. It's irrational, I know from the body language and everything else when dogs are being friendly but I'm still trying to get over the anticipation of the dog suddenly turning on me and biting me even though I know it's highly unlikely. It pisses me off. For the first time I can see how phobias or a previous bad experience can over rule logic, especially around dogs.

These are not stray dogs, they have owners or are cared for by people in the neighborhood. I attack them with the same fury they use on me. These are called Level 5 dogs in secret doggy-person language. They are looking for ways to get you. Some will noiselessly sneak up behind you just so they can nip your heel.

The worst were in Thailand but in recent years the bad dogs there, at least in chiangmai, have gotten fewer since the owners know how unappealing they are to tourists, the bread-and-butter of their owners in many cases. Cities are relatively safe but the countryside and small towns like savannakhet laos, is where they can get dangerous.

Always have at least one of these things:
thick stick.
slingshot
nunchucks
long heavy chain
machete
pocket full of rocks
2 bodyguards with dubious sexual tastes

I bend down and pretend to pick up an imaginary rock and then raise my hand and gesture as if I'm throwing it at them and they RUN.
