" You wouldn’t need to deal with all 5. All you need to do is take the dominant dog out and the others will scare off without the alpha"
Apparently you've never dealt with a pack of mean dogs, I have .
Anyways, one cannot expect a 61 year old woman to be ready to fight off dogs .
This is just one more fear mongering post by you-know-whom

.
I like dogs but in my line of work one needs to be *very* careful .
Just shooting the damn things is apparently frowned upon, I don't know why .
I don't have 'bad' dogs , my dick isn't
that small .
I used to have a Boxer, I don't know how he did it even after watching him do it, he'd sidle up next to my 8' gate, hunker down and
!BOING! he'd jump up and *just* get his front paws over the top then he'd pull him self over and go roaming.....
After he managed to un cage and eat my neighbor's bird I gave up and gave him away, more's the pity .
He never barked at anyone unless they tried to climb my fence/gate .
Didn't bite anyone either .
