Do you think that the sound/lights would scare off a coyote when I'm walking my 2 small dogs or in my yard? or would I actually have to hit it?

I believe it would scare it...but if it got close enough , Stun it....it might scare your 2 little baby's, I also carry it when i walk my little baby(i love animals)

It will for sure. I have coyotes that come to my house too, and I keep a crossbow just in case they get too close to my animals too.

if the coyote came close enough the sound and lightning flash shoud keep it from attacting you and your dog,also its a heavy club so if you had to club, along with the voltage i think it would get the message.

Discharging the stun baton has worked for me in deterring attacking dogs. I've not have had to actually stun the dog, the loud poping noise seems to scare them enough to keep them at bay. This stun baton is very large and heavy, I had to switch to a different model to carry while dog walking. I keep this one at home as a back up.

the dog may not hear so well due to breed. dogs over the years have been bread to do different thing for man. hunt by smell sight or sound. my unit works ok but there is a pack of small dogs next door.they do stop barking after a min or so. I wish my neighbors would just move I can only hope. Joe

so sorry that happened to you. I have been lucky enough never to had to use mine, other than the flashlight, and have used the noise of it to scare off a dog. I bought because I have other products from Guard Dog, and I love them. I assumed that they put the same quality into this product. (also ...rechargeable, cable included)

If they get about 30 ft away, the sound will be less 'noticeable' to the Dog. Meaning, It's easier for them to ignore. Hope this helps :)

I have mine mounted up above my shed door; I don't think anything as small as a raccoon would set it off; and even if it did it isn't bright enough to scare them away if that is the goal. Haven't gone through a winter yet with mine, but I think it would be difficult to adjust. If you look at the picture, you'll see three re-enforcement bends where the bracket is. You could could certainly mount it on something angled though, that would be an easy fix.

The dogs WILL hear it and, as in my neighborhood, they will probably bark more. You can buy things that will bother their they're ears (not permanently just while they are barking). Look up NO BARK PRODUCTS. GOOD LUCK

anything that passes in front of the red beam will set the machine off. Whether or not your birds will be able to hear the sound, i have no idea. Humans cannot hear it. If dogs could hear it, i would think they would call it "animal scram" and not "catscram" so i doubt that your birds will hear it, but don't know for sure.

l tracked a coyote at what I figured to be 100 yards. I saw it good without IR on. When you turn on the IR animals eyes will glow. In my opinion you could probably see father than that with good light

It should work pretty well finding your dogs but scaring off a mountain lion I don't know about that but if you shine it on the mountain lion the light is bright enough that it probably won't see you.

My experience is that it does not spook any animals. they are use to seeing lightning. I think you would manually have to shut if off each evening.

If your neighbor' house's is 15 feet from your, yes you would scare them. It is too powerful for small patios. It also depends on what kind of neighbors you have. Other than that the rifle is awesome.

Just one of these sucks. Two suck twice as much.They are good at detecting movement though. They detect cars pulling in the driveway, people walking up the driveway, animals as small as squirrels in my driveway or in the neighbor's yard, and tree leaves moving in the slightest of breezes. I think they can detect ghosts too. I look out the window after the alarm sounds and there is no one there.

Can't answer since there are no coyotes in my area. But I found it to be effective on the deer and I usually have a herd of them grazing in the back of the property. But this has kept them out of my herb garden.

It won't bother the neighbors but you can hear it. It beeps fairly long like 15 beeps or so. There is like 20 second delay before it will activate again. We live in the country and have to unplug it at night because the deer keep triggering it.

I would not think it would be a good buy for your situation. This item emits a sound that the human ear does not hear, but animals DO....in your case, with your dog being closer than the neighbors, it would probably bother yours more than theirs...........

i use it for just that exact reason right now. i live in a desert area with coyotes and other critters. of course if you press the "zap" button before they get to you it may scare them or tell them "hey, back off!" and that would be best, but if you do get attacked it will only affect the person or animal you are trying to defend from. in other words you wont get shocked if the animal or person is on you/in contact with you when you zap them.

I would suggest that you at least light them off in an open field of open back yard. I have a small back yard and the houses are close together. I lited one and set it off, almost landed on the neighbors roof, pretty scarey!
