How does one test this to see if it works? I read someone's girlfriend got angry and used it on him! I don't want to hurt anyone without good reason.

The only times we have actually pressed the trigger is when the dogs are outside barking. Once they hear it they freeze and get real quiet. But the only time a living person actually got zapped was when my son tried it on himself just to see how well it works. It seemed pretty effective to him!

The don't really hurt except for an occasional light burn. But stun guns and tazers work by overloading the muscles with electrical information, the person's muscles begin rapidly contracting and releasing making it impossible to stand or continue an attack. But then again, if you are forced to use this against someone attacking you, do you you really care if they areally in temporary pain?

Not after you learn the correct technique. I got a friend who had used this item to show me and have encountered no issues.

It works for me. When my parents dog yapps at me, I blow this thing and that little bugger almost jumps back. I keep my hand on the whistle and I've even held the whistle up to my lips when we have those situations. It sometimes takes a couple sustained blows, on the highest setting (I don't mess around), and that yapper shuts up. You must only use it when the dog barks. If you use it at any other time, your going to confuse the animal and this whistle does hurt...so don't let anyone use it for any other purpose and certainly, don't use it unless it is truly required. (That would board abuse). If used properly, its very useful.

I do not know how to prove this product does anything. It's not like knocking down a fever or fixing a scratch on the skin. It works 'behind' the scenes, so to speak, and nothing immediately happens, only over time if you can actually notice a difference.

Since you only use a small amount it should be ok. Maybe test a small area first to see if you react. Make sure not to get it in your eyes though.

I actually had to use it a few days ago during a road rage incident. The guy assaulted me and I sprayed him. It hasn't leaked since I used it. And its still usable.

I have never had to use it for that, but that is a behavior problem. I would assume so, its worth a try. I really dont see why it wouldn't work.

this item is not effective. It broke within 3 days. I wouldn't suggest to use this due to its not going to work when you need it and you may end up getting your own self hurt or killed in the process

That is what the person to whom I gave it told me. I didn't personally try to use it. Hope this is helpful.

Mark, ANYTHING can be a weapon with proper application including the vehicle you drive. Did you ever entertain the thought that "ALL US PEOPLE" may include those whom you phone for assistance when in distress and possibly a valuable tool for them in an emergency situation? Didn't think so. Personally I believe you would have better success "trolling" on Facebook. I hope this clarified your asinine query.

I've never tried it but is tempting to. Perhaps testing it on a very small area first?!

No. I tis designed to test off the shelf batteries. I personally have used it to test rechargables. It works on some but not on others. Have no idea why.

I doubt it. It's strong but I don't know about that strong. Why would you test that though? Lol

In general this device works on some dogs and not others. If you were to test it at a dog park, for instance, you would instantly see at least 50% of the dogs react. Some dogs do not seem to react to this at all. I would imagine that dogs bred to hunt would be slightly less reactive as they are not supposed to react to loud noises as part of their breeding (i.e. they are gun dogs). If you have a dog that does have an issue with loud noises, this unit should work on them. As I said in my review. This is either a miracle or nada. But at $8 just try it and if it doesn't work for you give it to a friend. The risk here is extremely minimal. In general this device works on some dogs and not others.

It should work. I will test it to see and if it doesn't I will send another message. I can not imagine why it wouldn"t
