THE MACE GUN PREVENTED A PIT BULL FROM ATTACKING MY TWO DOGS
921726
I was walking my two large dogs yesterday when a pit bull came running at us.  Thankfully I had my Mace Gun handy and sprayed the pit bull.
The pit bull immediately ran away.  The Mace Gun sprays in a thin steady stream for about 20 feet and is easy to use.
It would be great if the Mace gun had a red dye in the spray so I could have marked the pit bull.

I bought this about 3 months ago I use it when my dog gets hurt I put it on and when you're checking him it won't bite me (he's a pit bull ) I would not recommend this product for daily use because it would make your pet more aggressive but great high quality product love it

Well, folks, I used it last night for the first time.  My 3 small pooches and I were attacked by 2 large dogs running loose, at line of sight of their sad owners.  As the most aggressive one ran and charged at us at about 10 feet (yes, 10 feet!), I started spraying him.  It hit the target because the stream was strong and steady. It slowed his initial charge.  As he recovered and kept charging back and forth, I kept at it.  The spray was either blinding him or compromising his breathing; either way, it kept slowing him down at almost a couple feet away from me and my pooches.  Eventually and just as I was about to run out of spray, the situation was diffused.  We are safe and I am re-ordering.  End of story.

Use this to take on walks against dogs. I have used it on small dogs and 1 pitbull from a distance and it did the job repelling them. The key thing is the distance it shoots out. This thing is little but sprays like a fire extinguisher. I used it like 4 times, burst here and there to test it. It felt like it had some left the other day but when i was teaching my wife how to use it, appereantly the pressure had leaked out so nothing happened. to be fair, it was a couple of months after the Use before date. all in all, this thing rocks. Recommended to people who like taking walks.

I love this nifty tool.
My confession, I originally got this because I planned on cutting a neighbor's wire fence to let their dogs go.  The dogs were being neglected and not cared for and I thought I would just set them free. After I purchased these and had time to think about it-I thought it wasn't a good idea since these dogs were pitbulls. I was afraid they may attack another dog or child/person because they hadn't been properly socialized.
When they came I figured it was money put towards a lesson learned and chalked it up to a tool that would just collect dust in my basement.
Boy, was I wrong! No, I didn't spring the pitbulls loose but I do use them for a variety of chores. Mostly screws that won't come out of the wall and opening a package that was sealed like Fort Knox and things like that. I tried it on a fence like wiring and it worked well.
I'm not that strong but you don't have to be to use them.
I like this product. I'm happy with my purchase. The poor pitbulls are still suffering but if the SPCA doesn't see anything wrong with dogs being crated for days on end among other things, than who am I to argue? Poor pitbulls.

It's a led pellet coated in copper. So here's my story. I was outside target practicing with my Benjamin Steel Eagle in .22 caliber. I heard a lady screaming a the top of her lungs help me ,somebody help me. As i turned to see what was going on i saw a coyote which had attacked her small poodle and had this lady poodle in it's mouth biting and shaking the poor dog as it screamed out in pain. The coyote attempted to run into a heavily overgrown tree and brush area. I couldn't get there fast enough so i put my 3-9x40AO on target which was approximately 42yds. from my position
awaited for the slightest pause he gave me that pause i took the shot a hit right behind the eye he dropped the small poodle stumbled about 10 feet and felled. This all happened very fast. I picked up the young lady poodle gave him to her and she rushed off to the veterinarian. Later in  the week i ran in to her and asked her how was her poodle, his name was toby he was 9 months old and passed away 3 days after he was attacked. She told me he sustained severe injuries. Well all in all that .22 cal. pellet took care of business.

THIS IS MY HONEST REVIEW.  I HAVE NOT ACCEPTED REMUNERATION FOR MY REVIEW.  I have been feeling uncomfortable walking my dog at night because I had heard on the news that there had been trouble in my neighborhood.  So, I bought one of these vipers.  The price was good and it made me feel safer.  It arrived within two days.  I charged it up and took Lucky, my 35 pound, rescue, mixed-breed pup, for a walk.  Within a block, a tough looking young man asked me what the time was.  I told him it was ten fifteen, wished him a pleasant evening and began to head down the street.  He grabbed my arm and told me he needed a loan.  I had never seen him before, so I declined, and tried to walk away.  He contined to hold my arm and told me to give him my wallet. I reached for my back pocket.  He said I was making the right choice and let go of my arm.  I pulled the viper out of my pocket,  jabbed it in to his neck and hit the power button for thirty seconds.  I really did not know what to expect, but it worked extremely well.  He collapsed after fifteen seconds, so I followed him down and gave him a full thirty seconds.  He was flopping around and moaning as I walked away.  One of his buddies noticed him flopping on the ground and asked me to call 911.  I said he will be fine and continued on.
Fifty yards later, a man asked what I was looking to score.  I told him that civility was all I wanted.  He laughed and lunged at me.  The viper was still in my hand and the flashlight was on.  I jammed the viper in to his neck and hit the power button for twenty seconds, again following him down as he collapsed.  His flopping made the viper lose contact, so I jammed it real tight against his neck and gave him another ten seconds.
After Lucky and I started back home, a very muscular, tattooed twenty something young man asked me if I had any money.  I said I did.  I wished him a good evening and began walking away.  He grabbed my shoulder and turned me around.  He said he really needed my money and that if I gave it to him that he wouldn't hurt me too badly.  I told him I only had a few hundred on me, but that I needed it for my ballroom dancing lessons.  He began laughing (my dancing really is improving and it is great exercise).  I jammed the viper in to his arm pit and hit the power.  He started dancing and moaning.  He fell down after about twenty seconds.  I wiped his sweat off on his tank top and I noticed that his flip flop had come off.  I decided to try it on the soft spot in the middle of the bottom of his foot.  He began groaning loudly and his legs were thrashing like crazy, so I had to grab his leg to keep contact.  I gave him a full minute and he seemed to be unconscious when I released the power switch.  Just out of curiosity, I checked his pockets to see if he really needed my money.  His pockets were full of money. I detest liars, so I jammed the viper in to his inner thigh and pressed the power switch for 30 seconds.  His legs thrashed around a bit, but he seemed unconscious.  As a joke, I took his money and put it in the bag with Lucky's bowel movement.  It wouldn't fit in his pocket, so I put it in his hat and jamned it down on his head.  The bag split and it was quite messy.

With the possible exception of a few excellent puzzles of landscapes, I have enjoyed this product more than any other item that I have purchased from Amazon!  I highly recommend the Vipertech and would purchase it again.

OKAY, I ADMIT I MADE ALL OF THIS UP, BUT IT MADE MY SON LAUGH AND THAT IS WORTH THE PRICE OF THE UNIT.

THE FLASHLIGHT IS POWERFUL AND THE ZAPPING NOISE WOULD KEEP ME AWAY FROM ANYONE HOLDING IT.

I used to walk dogs for the RISPCA and they require you to carry mace on every walk.  I haven't had to use it for an emergency yet, but I clip it onto the dog's leashes every time we leave the house.  My friend's dogs were recently attacked and I wish she would have had some pepper spray because someone else was irresponsible with their dog.

I have an 86 lb. 2 yr. old pitbull rescue with a large muzzle. He pulls, twists, and whines when walked. It was miserable walking him. I'm elderly and my arms got tired trying to control him.  I have tried training collars, thundershirt and halters. Nothing worked. I needed something to keep him focused. I was watching a show about pitbulls and they used a head control halter and the dog stopped pulling and became a different dog on a leash. So I thought I would try it. It worked on the first walk.
I bought this halter in the large size and my little guy now walks like he is a different dog. For example, I walked him by my neighbors dogs who bark and run the fence. He glanced at them but didn't react to them at all. I am really enjoying walking him and I would like to think he likes taking his walks now.
NOTE: I also bought the Halti Optifit headcollar in the medium. It fit him nicely. He behaves with it also.

This is a beautiful tool.  Easy to use and I like the finger hole for added grip.  I got this, in addition to mace, to keep my 3 pomeranians safe when we are on our walks after 2 of them got viciously attacked by 2 off leash pit bulls here in FL in Jan.  Since the police and animal control don't give a crap unless a person is killed, I'm taking protection into my own hands.  I'm lucky my boys are alive.  I'll never be that helpless again.  I still have nightmares about the attack.

I have eight (yes, I am a sucker for unwanted pets) dogs. I did not do the "training" as explained in the packaging. They suggested placing your pet on the mat, letting the alarm go off, and shooing them off with a firm "no." I believe that THE DOGS should get THEMSELVES into the situation, not be forced into it and then punished for it. So, I waited with water pistol in hand for them to jump up on their own. First to try was the "devil dog." My smartest and most devious dog. He thought the noise was cool and a great new toy. I sprayed him with water, said "no" and he left it alone. A day later he tried again, and I chased him off. He has not tried a third time. But, it is still early. I suspect this mat will not be an effective deterent for him.

On the other end of the spectrum, my Aussie jumped on it, the alarm went off, and she not only immediately jumped off without being told, she was so spooked she ran out the doggie door and into the back yard. Didn't want to come back in the room. Three others jumped on the mat and quickly got off on their own. The fourth hasn't even tried it yet. I think she witnessed the other dogs and the noise and is too scared to go near the couch. (The littlest dog can't jump up that far, so he is exempt.)

The verdict? So far, after four days, it works like a charm with all but one of my dogs. Will it work with yours? Chances are good, but if you have a "devil dog" like I do, it may not be effective.

UPDATE: I have had this for about a year now. After the first few days the puppies all learned to stay off the couch. Now, even if I take the mate off, they don't try to sneak back on it. Works like a charm!

I had a problem with one of my dogs excessively barking. The neighbors were becoming annoyed and called the dog warden, so I was warned I would get ticketed next time he had a complaint. I didn't here my dog barking so much because I was at work or sleeping with an air conditioner on. I tried a bark collar with prongs that zapped when she barked. It was horrible, she cried every time she was zapped and it didn't stop the barking completely. Also the prongs started to give her a sore on her neck so I had to take it off. So I got another visit from the dog warden. I found this collar ordered it and have been using it. I can't believe how good it works. She has not made a peep since I put it on and I don't have to worry about her neck getting a sore because no prongs yay. I'm definitely going to get another for my inside dog.

this thing definitely stops a dog barking dead in its tracks, if you run up and smash the dog in the head with it.  other than that, the dogs I tried it on came up and urinated on the tree where it was positioned.

The guard moves too easily. My dog fights me and is 92 lbs. The guard moved and I cut the nail too short and made her bleed.

I got a bigger kick out of this than the dog did... I think the ball part is a little big... not really sturdy enough for my pit bull not to destroy either.
