Works great for safety

I have a reactive dog. A while ago we were chased by a loose dog. After that I got this product. It’s small and easy to use. Powerful enough to protect yourself and your pup but safe enough not to cause permanent damage.

Unfortunately had to use this product today. I was on my daily walk with my dog and we encountered one of the many dogs loose in the neighborhood. My dog was attacked and taken down, I used the mace on the other dog and the dog separated immediately. I kept spraying and the dog finally ran away.I agree with other reviews, a bit more distance would be helpful as you can only hit a dog right in front of you. This won't stop a dog from attacking you but will get it off of you. It also comes out as a very narrow stream, so a bit more spray would be helpful as well. I knocked a star off for these reasons, but it did do it's job. I'm ordering a new one now.

It's great, I hope I never have to use it but it's very nice but haven't tried it yet. Bought this after my neighbor let her 3 knowingly aggressive dogs run loose like always and they ambushed and attacked my service dog. Next time I hope they control their dogs, as a trainer I never want to cause harm to any animal which this stuff is the safest on the market to use on animals. If you own a animal leash them because regardless of how trained or friendly that other animal or person may not be as friendly and if your dog is running free and a fight breaks out your just as at fault wether your dog instigated it or not.

I had a few dogs charge me when I was walking my dogs. It was fine and nothing happened once their people got them back in their yard. I got this just in case things did go as well. I feel I can both my large dogs and the little one without worry. Fits perfectly in my pocket and my hand

I bought this after my dog was attacked by a stray during a walk, and I felt safer with my mace when out walking my dog. About a month after purchasing I was out walking my dog when a small pittie ran towards us aggressively, as my dog tried to run, I reached for the mace that I kept on my end of the leash. Once I got it, I aimed and pressed the button only for a tiny dribbling steam to come out and although the dog was a mere 2 feet away this didn’t even reach him. when he saw me spray he retreated then came back for another bite at my dog. I got right in his face and sprayed and a tiny bit got on his face. He snorted, retreated and came back again. So once again, I got as close as possible pressed the bottom and NOTHING came out. I had to resort to kicking him and stomping to get him away.If this was an average sized Pittie the story would have been different because kicking him would not have worked.Save your money, carry something more reputable or a very large stick!

I took my dog to the nearby high school, as I often do, to run in the open fields and chase flying discs, and just walk the perimeter. The school does not mind dog visitors as long as folks clean up after their dogs! My dog is 7.5 months old (a large, medium Goldendoodle who thinks every human and dog wants to play). Before unleashing him, I make sure all the gates are closed and if there are other dogs present that they are with a human. This afternoon I spotted a guy with 4 unleashed dogs - small, medium, and large breeds) and nobody else was with him. I took my dog to where we usually play but did not unleash him. The guy with the dogs was approximately 1/2 football field away. But as my pup and I were making our way to where we usually play, one of the guy's dogs, a tall, black Doberman pincher-type dog, was making his way to us. I could hear the guy yelling, but had no idea what he was saying. I attempted to get my dog behind a gate and onto an empty baseball field, but my dog was excited and I presume thinking he was going to meet a new friend, which has happened several times at this school. I have my dog mace attached to the front loop of my jeans, so I had the canister in hand. As the dog approached, I could see that he was starting to growl, and then the other three dogs (much smaller) joined him. The owner was getting closer and yelling, "They're all friendly, they just want to play." I said, "Get your dogs, or they'll be maced!" Soon, the large black dog was towering over my pup, who had assumed a submissive position on his back on the ground. Then I heard my dog yelp in pain. I was behind the black dog, picked him up by the collar, swung him away from my dog and, unfortunately, had to mace the dog to get him to back off. It took a few seconds before the dog started to cough and retreat. The guy came to his dog, and I said I'd maced his dog with dog mace (human mace can be pretty harmful to dogs). The owner grabbed his dog and said he liked to play, but then the owner got a whiff of the mace and started to cough, too. I told the jerk that his dogs should not be off-leash unless he has control of them, and they will return to him when called. They would not listen to him. I told him he lacked control of his dog and had no business having him unleashed on a school property. He gathered his dogs, dragging the black one by his collar, and returned from whence he came. I was so upset that I sat down in the sun with my pup, who seemed just fine, and then I cried. I'm a 73-year-old woman in fairly good shape, but my dog weighs about 38 lbs, and the black dog was more muscle, so I must have had an adrenaline rush to pick up that black dog with one hand and mace him with the other. My dog and I stayed and played a short time longer, but we were both so upset that we left. I took my pup and got him a pup cup (ice cream). After we were home, my puppy kept coming to me, trying to lick my face and look at my face in a way he'd never done before. It made me realize he was most likely just as worried about me as I was about him. Thank God my dog trainer suggested I get dog mace and always carry it with me. I've carried police-grade mace for years since I would often be leaving hospitals in the middle of the night, but I didn't know about canine mace until the trainer told me. I fear what would have happened if I had not had that weapon with me and ready. The owner was too far away to get his dog off of my dog. Idiot.

My Siberian Husky and I take daily long walks. There is no leash law in Montana, thus we encounter dogs running loose frequently. My dog is a rescue and was in a HORRIBLE hoarding situation, where the owners would leave for days. Before leaving, a bag of food was left for 30 dogs, forcing them to fight for food. Thus, my dog does NOT do well with loose dogs running up to his face.The spray works! It's easy to use and effective. I'd rather pepper spray a dog than having my dog engage in a fight! I have had to use the spray a few times and it has prevented a dog fight. While I hoped that training my dog would work, it has not so far. So, I am grateful that your product has worked for us!

Perfect for walking

It was as advertised and, was and is, what I was looking for.

Great product, easy to use, as described. Recommend this product
