Friends who live in Canada take pepper spray out when hiking in the event of a bear attack.
This doesn't cause any permanent harm.
But isn’t bear spray to deter an attack? I can’t imagine when a 10 stone dog has its teeth sunk into your leg and is thrashing you from left to right any kind of spray would have an immediate effect. When dogs are ‘in the zone’ it is very very difficult to get them to redirect their focus.This doesn't cause any permanent harm.
One of the freeze'n'release type sprays or a sports type cold spray?
Which would probably work in much the same way as a blast from a CO2 fire extinguisher.
CO2 extinguisher very effective & often carried for early morning knocks when a problem dog was known or suspected to be present.
One dog had 3 icy blasts before deciding enough was enough & hid.
Much to the surprise & annoyance of his drug dealer owner.

Unless dogs happen to dislike that specific odour, I can't see how that spray would stop a dog attack.Jamescrs said:
There's a proper spray for dogs, search for bite back spray.
As far as I can ascertain it is legal in the UK and it definately works.
Smells of a strong menthol, I believe its the smell that dogs hate which they run from.

Finger up the bum 
please have a go and report back your findings.
The only sensible way is to choke the dog with a lead or rope or similar. Get it as high up the neck as possible, just behind the chin and twist and hold to cut off the dog's airway and it will release it's grip within a few seconds. Ideally, you can keep holding until the dog passes out, otherwise there's a chance it will redirect it's anger onto you.

In view of the media reports of dog attacks, say you are in your home and you see a dog attacking a person, what would be the most effective household spray to discourage the attack, IE bleach, vinegar, wd40, you get my drift something that you have readily available in your home.
I'd suggest none. If a dog - or any animal - is in an attack frenzy a random smell is not going to stop it.Tazer might do it - but we can hardly arm the entire population with tazers.
