How close would I need to get to an attacking dog, and would I need to get to an attacking dog and would this have long-term damage to the dog?

In order to use it you need to make direct contact. You must touch the taser to the intended object. A dogs nervous system can handle the extreme intensity of the shock so it would indeed affect the dog permanently or possible even kill it.

I can not answer about the dog, because the team and I have never worked in another country, so I can not return it ... hopefully I have in mind .... thanks for another Taiser

Yes it will hurt your dog. It's a shock collar. Anything that shocks you will hurt. Your dog will get hurt at least once, when it barks through the first two warnings. It will yelp and look around for something that is hurting it. It's the point of the collar. Eventually, your dog will learn that the beeps are a warning. If it doesn't learn to expect the shock after the first couple of days, I would suggest a different method of behavior support.

Don't know yet, hope I never find out. But I have "fired" 4-5 short bursts so far and there seems to be plenty left in the can. Each time the barking stopped and the dog left. My rule is that a barking dog behind me is in an attack position; if it closes it gets a shot. A dog that actually attacked would get a facefull, not a warning shot.

I would think the area on the training program which addresses aggressive dogs. If this isn't thorough enough try Don's website there is a lot of faq's.

Hello Scott, Sorry for the delay in responding. This has worked extremely well for me. You will need to purchase an additional hoop to extend below the existing two that come provided, otherwise, your dogs will be able to nose under the barrier. If your dogs are easily excitable and desperately try to get to one another (as in fighting), I can't say that they wouldn't be able to. Good luck!

My pit bulls were attacked a few times this year. I carry this around for aggressive dogs that may attack my dogs. The Guard Dog Diablo II 320 is much better Guard Dog Security Diablo 160 even though it's twice as much.

Yes, this would work. It may or may not fatally injure the animal, but would move it along. If you don't want to kill the animals, maybe a softair gun would be good.

It wont hurt your dog. Just make sure you point the daser at the neighbors dog so the sound wave goes in that direction. The results will depend on distance of the dog, for me it works excellent from 20 - 30 feet, also what kind of dog your neighbor have. It works excellent on medium to large dogs and sometimes on small dogs.

Most likely, though personally I prefer to have a little more distance/reach. A snake can strike 1/2 the distance of it's body, so if you have a larger snake, it can potentially bite you when you are trying to take him out with this tool.

I don´t think so. it will depend on the distance betwenn the petsafe and dog.

You should have no problem. There are different settings for how strong the shock will be. Be sure that prongs touch their skin, not just sit on their fur. You may need to shave a small area if their fur it thick. Also, there is a distance setting to adjust how close the dog can get to the fence. My dog is a jumper, and the only time she has gotten out since the collar was when I FORGOT to change the battery! She hears the warning beep and stops! Hope this helps!

you wil get some rock if its small..but if you are careful and just grab the edges of the feces this should get it without much. I've had dogs for almost 40 years and this is the BEST tool ever....seriously. I wont ever be without one again...and mine gets a LOT of worktime. I did break one after 2 years (probably using it at 20 degrees below zero F isnt the best thing for it...) but was happy to buy a second!!!

Yes deffinently, but I've never actually tested it. As a club no, but if you're worried about dog attack get a "pet convincer 2" I have tested this on lots of dogs. Can't hurt them but it has scared everyone of them. Just used to stop a big Lab from attacking my mini schnauzer . He had him in his mouth, sprayed him and he ran away. Then he came back but when I sprayed again he ran away before he got to close to attack.

Use an invisible fence inside of your other fence. I saw inside because for me one thing I don't like about them is your dog may not go out of the yard but other dogs & people can come in. I used one inside of my other fence for a dog who would climb or scale any fence I put him in. Depending on your breed also you may want to trade the regular collar in for a "stubborn dog" collar. I have Rhodesian Ridgebacks & this male when he had the regular collar on just stood there getting zapped & looked at me like - ya right you think this will keep me in? Only 1 of my boys went thru it w/stbn collar on & he thought I needed him. I purchased not the "brand" name invisible fence a cheaper one. Just make sure if you get the wire kind to set it all down FIRST before permnantly installing! Also watch the training video & read the booklet & make sure you train the dog correctly. Do exactly as it says don't cut corners. The newest ones out that are wireless are incredible but a lot more expensive. What is your breed of dog? That would be my best suggestion. Otherwise you will have to secure your fence on the bottom with like 2x4's around the outside nailed to posts. Have a much heavier fence installed & high enough the dog doesn't jump and the weave close enough so he can't climb. The invisible fence would be cheaper & I think a better solution. One other thing I know someone who had a Boxer & theirs got a short in it & the dog stayed right in the circled area. Many folks tell me this they shut theirs off after a while & dog stays right in the boundries. Not so with a RR my two boys checked it every day to make sure it was working. My husband did not ground a new one we put in after moving & it got zapped & ruined (make sure you do that!) & one of my boys knew it was off in less than 1/2 hour & was out.

It wouldn't stop a dog, other than a poodle, and is no use as a club. Don't buy it for this purpose as it would be absolutely useless and, used on a dog, it's only going to encourage it to attack you with greater ferocity.

If you get hit by one at a close distance, it's going to sting for a second. Just the initial hit but no lasting effects and no welts.

No. In fact, one time I wasn't prepared and it was on my belt (be sure to get the one with belt clip) and I was able to get it off my belt, shake it (just 2 shakes does it) , move the lever and spray before the dog got to us. I always give a warning shout (NO! or STOP!) to the charging dog, thinking if I run into that particular dog again, I can just give a warning and they'll know what's coming. Heh.
