My main antagonists in daytime is dogs. I tell them, "I'm waay more alpha than you are, I'm just passing through, back it off," and they back off. Dog packs are the worst, they can make you stop to tell them "You don't want to mess with me." I remember one time in Kaui taking garbage cans down the hill, and four dobermans would harrass me. ""F**k off you buggers." German shepherds, pit bulls, when
i''ve been running and riding, mongrels, have done their threatening stuff. I just tell them, "I'm supreme alpha, you're not, back off." And they do.
