It is estimated that fifteen million Americans own a can of pepper spray for self defense. Fortunately, most of those cans will never have to be sprayed. Unfortunately, however, most of the owners of pepper spray have never had any pepper spray training.

For any self defense weapon to be useful, you must be trained in using that weapon. The time to learn how to remove the safety cap and spray your pepper spray is not when you are being attacked. If the nozzle is pointed in the wrong direction, you will spray yourself. Pepper spray training will prepare you in case the worst ever happens.

Some pepper spray manufacturers offer a training spray container filled with water. If your manufacturer does not offer the training can, then buy two identical cans of pepper spray so that you can use one for a training can and one to carry for self defense. Once a can has been used for training, do not depend on it for self defence, it may run out of spray.

You should always train outside where there is plenty of fresh air. The wind should be at your back. Attach a paper target to a tree and practice opening the lid of container and spraying the target. Work until you are able to do this smoothly. You do not have to initially try for speed but for accuracy.

Hold the container firmly cupped in your fingers and use your thumb to flip the cap open. Use your thumb or your trigger finger to press the button to activate the spray that is aimed at the paper target. Continue doing this until you can accurately open the container and hit the target.

Each time you spray, take a step back and to the side. Do not walk toward the target. The spray will get into your eyes. The step back and aside moves you out of the way of your attacker.
