Protection against attacking dogs?

Hi all, I just moved to a neighborhood in a new city that seems more dangerous from a canine perspective than I’m used to. As a pregnant woman, I’ll be even worse-equipped to defend my small dog and myself than usual, and I’d like to start carrying something to protect ourselves.

I can’t handle a gun well-enough, so I was thinking maybe a collapsible baton (ideally small enough to fit in a fanny pack so I don’t look nuts brandishing it), and perhaps pepper spray? I understand a Taser or stun gun would also hurt my dog if there were a fight, so that’s ruled out.
