How well it deters dogs

I tried it specifically to discourage dogs. I spread it per instructions . . . no rain . . . and within 24 hours the dogs (reinforced by their irresponsible owners) left notice that Critter Ridders did not work.

I use it for stray cats, I suppose it also works on dogs..however we have a leash law here and their owners pick up their mess..Only problem is that it's only effective for 3-4 days, unless it rains then has to be reapplied...

It delivers enough shock to deter animals but will not physically injure anyone that touches it. Kids will probably only make the mistake of touching it once. It delivers a pulse shock, not a constant shock. It will give anyone shocked a break to pull away.

usually it works very well. Chances could be that the other dogs wanted to play OR saw her as small animal prey. The dog it was originally bought for is a little pitbull mix, about 40 lbs and it really scares him and he stops the minute he sees it. Other dogs seem put off by it too ... certainly worth buying to try it.

I wouldn't trust it. Although it works pretty well on a medium size dog in attack mode, it did not stop the dog. The dog shook its head two or three times, then continued its attack. Don't trust anything that you don't know for a fact will stop S.T.O.P. any creature/critter in attack mode.

We have sprayed this on our dogs and it seems to keep the flies away. We can see them around them but they do not land on them. You do have to reapply about every 2 hours but it does work. My brother -in-law swears by it for the Bufflo Gnats that are found in IL. We use it mostly for Yellow Flies and No Seeums down here in FL.

We have 2 large dogs and it does well with their dander and collecting the smell of dog. I have two of these, one in each of my children's bedrooms to aid with their allergies and it does well. We have a larger one by another brand that is within our actual living space.

I used it to deter animals from my tomato plants and it worked perfectly. I just sprayed it around the edge of the garden (not on my tomatos) and it worked! Now I get my full tomato harvest.

Yes, i have two smaller dogs and it easily detects them teen feet away. Mounted 8 ft vertically.. Not Sue what sensitivity i have it on as the default worked great.

My neighbor's dog is a mutt, which constantly barks. As I stated before to other people purchasing this item. It does work because my neighbor's dog has quit barking about 85 to 95%. Also remember that if people are cutting the lawn next to you, make sure you disconnect the machine, because that is not going to stop the dog from barking. My neighbor's dog has learned to go bark on the other side of the house, that's how good this thing works. I'm very satisfied with it.

I purchased it for rabbits. It did not bother or deter them one bit. They were back almost immediately.

It is activated day and night, but does not seem to stop the critters. I'm getting better results with a small animal repellant composed of natural ingredients.

It isn't a very strong mint scent but I do think it masks the garbage smell. So asking if mint smell would repel a dog I doubt it, but masking a smell a dog would be sniffing for...maybe.

Yes, this is effective and will detour a possible attacking dogs when sprayed in the face and or nose.

It is safe around my dogs. I do not recommend it, it did nothing to repel rats in my outdoor shed. They went right by it to the food in the traps

I have found that this product does work as long as an animal hasn't yet attacked. If you can spray before it has attacked it will detour long enough that maybe you or your pet can get away.

I have two 25-30 LB dogs and neither had a problem. I only sprayed this outside the house, but in the fences in area the dogs are let out in. Neither had any problems, I didn't let them out for a few hours after spraying. I would still watch your dog around it for the first few days to make sure they don't take interest in it. If they start licking the sprayed surfaces I would assume it would make them sick.

Yes, it completely covers the area the dog might try to "jump" through. It makes a very effective barrier. However, be warned - that any determined dog, small or large is going to be able to move it around - it's attached with bungy cords - probably need steel straps to keep a large dog from completely coming through if the dog is really determined. :-)
