The Electronic Dog Repeller Is A Very Misunderstood Tool

Spending the vast majority of my professional life in the non-lethal self-defense industry I have witnessed a great deal of confusion as to the products I work with and have read a great deal of misinformation about those same products. The items I am referring to include tasers, stun devices, pepper spray, mace, personal alarms, steel batons, animal repellent spray and a host of other highly effective, non-lethal, life-saving devices. But amongst all of these devices there may be none more misunderstood than the electronic dog repeller.

When people hear the words ‘electronic dog repeller’, for whatever reason, Michael Vick-like images appear in most people’s minds, as if this device is one that is used to torture misbehaving canines when in fact nothing could be farther from the truth. First of all I am a huge dog lover; just ask my 70 pound yellow lab Kody.  I would never in a million years sell or recommend a device meant to hurt these gentle creatures. The sad and unfortunate fact though is that not all canines are as gentle and loving as my Kody. Some dogs are vicious and dangerous by way of being neglected and mistreated by scumbag dog owners who have no right owning a dog. For these rare cases we need to be able to effectively protect ourselves but at the same time be able to do so with a device that is humane and cannot possibly hurt a dog and that is what the electronic dog repeller is all about.

This device uses the latest ultrasonic technology to repel and prevent the approach of unwanted dogs or dogs whose intent is questionable at best. It uses a frequency that is too high to be heard by human beings and is audible only to the dog. Again this high frequency sound causes the dog enough discomfort to simply make the dog steer clear of you but does not cause that dog any pain or inflict any harm in any way whatsoever and it is effective up to about 40 feet. It also comes with a super bright flashing strobe that can be used to further confuse and temporarily blind an unwanted dog that may be headed your way. This strobe can also be used as a flashlight which can always come in handy. These devices are ideal for those that take jogs or walks (I am more the walking variety) at night and may have dogs in the area they know to be a tad unfriendly.

There is also a training setting on these devices and I can tell you from experience that using these as a training tool can be a very effective way of humanely training any dog. I hope this has helped clear up any misconceptions people may have about this wonderful device.



Stay Safe,
