Anyone who owns a dog, or has even watched one for any length of time will find that it is not an easy task to offend a dog's sense of smell. They seem to find it amusing to involve themselves in odors that would knock your socks off...

I like the idea, however... Maybe that cannon can be fired into the offending home owners car, or house, every time their dog intrudes on your space.

Skunks do seem to tip the balance into the common offensive nature of both man and beast. If you had a skunk cannon on your seg, it would likely deter just about anything with a nose. (You could feed the brie to the skunk to keep it happy till you load the cannon...)

That would definitely work. Back when I was living at home (many moons ago), one of our dogs cornered a skunk under our carport. Dad woke me up about 3am looking for the rifle and I followed him to the carport door. He positioned the rifle down towards the door, opened the door quickly and fired, killing the skunk. The dog finally calmed down, but we scrubbed stink off of that carport for a month.

I said, "Dad, next time, kill the dog. The skunk will leave on his own."

I have one of these (surprise

) and although it is too big to carry around on a Segway all the time, it does collapse. It's an Airzooker:

(click picture for a close up!)

By pulling it's rubber band back, aiming and letting go, it makes a loud bang and fires a shot of harmless air in its general direction up to 20ft away. It would scare most muts off and failing that, you could always belt them with it if under attack!

I brought back a pair of those for my kids on my last business trip... They were a blast. I never tried it on the dog, but it works well on the 3 year old, and better on the 7 year old...LOL

A couple of blasts from that, and they really do go ask their mother instead of me... LOL

I just bought a powerball on ebay... It has not arrived yet, but it brought up an item I had years ago...

It was a ball with a wacked out gyro in it, and you could turn it on, and it would skitter all over the place. Very unpredictable. The dog could not get enough, or had to leave the room. It could not just let the thing alone...

I wonder if you could launch a small barage of these freaky balls at an attacking dog, kind of like flak, and make your getaway...
