Hi Connie, My parents who are in their 70's were menaced by the large german shepard that lives above them. I bought them each some pepper spray. It has a belt clip and easy pull on it since my mom has arthritis. I think a blast of that will stop them. I also think if the dog jumped on your baby, the animal control and police could have legally taken it away from those terrible owners. Vicki
