Because unlike an agitated bum or robber, a mountain lion or coyote will leap at you at 4 times the distance that the pepper spray will shoot. Pepper spray is great for human altercations and large slow dogs however.
BayArea saysFor coyotes and mountain lions, pepper spray that shoots 5-6ft against an animal that fast probably wouldn’t be very effective.
Why not? Should work, no? Actually the best idea Ive heard so far.

The coyote wont attack me, I'm 235 pounds of pure American Baddass. My goal is to disperse the 1/2/or 3 coyotes that may attack my dog.
Interesting observation: my neighbors tell me they watched the coyotes kick a large male out of pack. Isn't that what they do to a retired alpha? Anyways there has been a lone, large coyote hanging out right by my place the last 3 days. My 40 pound dog actually went after him late last night, and the coyote responded in a playful game of chase. It was bizarre behavior. The coyote didnt show any signs of aggression. He ran around some trees waiting every 30 feet or so to make sure she was chasing him. This was odd enough that I'm not completely sure this new "coyote" isnt a lost pet.
I shared this story w a neighbor. The guy told me a similar story about his 80 pound dog literally play wrestling w a young coyote.
I get the feeling these coyotes have adapted their behavior to living in a city park.

That's a good idea, but he should move up to Bear Spray, since it can shoot up to 30 feet and is more lethal.
For coyotes and mountain lions, pepper spray that shoots 5-6ft against an animal that fast probably wouldn’t be very effective.

Bear spray does shoot further and comes in bigger canisters than "human spray", but it is actually less potent than the latter. Weird but true.

Depends who makes it and the formulation. Bear spray has the max 2.0%, where most law enforcement is between 1.3% and 2%.

Amazing dog, you can see the level of time and training it takes to get a dog up to that level. Plus, the selection process as pups is really important.
So, where do I send my check? Is he delivered by Fed-Ex?

Self-defense sprays with 10% OC are very common. LE sprays probably have some kind of limit imposed on them, methinks.

Any idea who makes a 10% spray. I looked around and can't find it. I'd actually like to get it, hmmm, I wonder if it's allowed in my communist state??
Edit: never mind, I found it, and they won't ship it here.... damn...

They’ll ship it here.
I got a distributor there, he’ll ship anything.

Also, there has been a rash of coyote attacks on dogs, and i go trail running daily w my 40 pound dog.
So, the obvious solution for both is to adopt a new BADDASS DOG into the family. I am leaning towards rescuing a Belgian Malinois. I feel like 90 pound belgian could eat the intruder, and 2 coyotes for desert.
