Dog Repellent

Dog owners like to do everything they can to keep their dogs safe, including keeping them from areas where they can harm themselves or get into things they don't need to. In this case you have probably thought about buying some dog repeller. There are several different types of dog repellent out there to choose from for purchase. They come in granules, sprays, and even small devices that help to teach your dog what areas are okay to go on and which ones are not. Which one you choose will depend upon what method works for you and your family. If you don't like the idea of using chemicals, you will probably want to look into getting one of the devices that use sound and a spray of water. Here we will look at the different kinds you can choose from.

First we'll look at the repellent that comes in the form of granules. These usually come in a can and can be shaken around the area that you want your dog to keep away from. These granules put out an offensive odor to dogs, but not to humans. It starts to work as soon as you put it down around the area and can be used outdoors. This is an excellent tool for keeping your dog out of places such as your flower garden or patio. Prices for the granules vary but you can purchase them for as little as $10.95.

Next there are repellent sprays. These repellent sprays work similar to the granules, but the difference being you can use them indoors and outdoors. These dog repellent sprays work in the same way that they send out an offensive odor to the dogs, but are completely safe to humans. You can use these sprays on the same places you would use the granules outside, but you can also put it on your furniture and carpets inside. The repellent begins to work as soon as you spray it onto wherever you want your dog to stay away from. Repellent sprays are around the same price as granules, from about $10.

If you don't mind spending a bit more money, you might consider getting an ultrasonic dog repeller that uses a very high pitched noise and sends out a burst of air if your dog gets too close to your plants or patio. You simply put it in the place you want your pet to keep away from, and if your dog comes near it sends out a warning sound and lets out compressed air to keep them away. Once your dog starts to recognize the sound, you can switch it to where it only lets out the sound. These repellents detect motion up to three feet away and they usually cost around $50.

Another option to consider if you want to stay away from the sprays for indoor use, is to get a dog training mat. This type of repellent helps to keep your dog off of your furniture and out of the areas and rooms you don't want them in by sending out a static pulse that is harmless to your dog. You simply switch the device into the on position and it will send out the pulse if it feels your dogs touch. These devices come with different levels of intensity and begin to work as soon as you put it on the on position. This type of dog deterrent operates on a nine volt battery and they usually come in different sizes to ensure that the whole area is covered. Prices for this pet furniture deterrent device range starting from $80.

If you are mainly worried about an area outdoors such as a garden or flower bed, they have a special device specifically for this. This type of dog repellent keeps your dog away by sending out a burst of water. It is motion activated with it's noise and sudden movement, it usually works to keep dogs out of the desired area. One of the best things about this type of deterrent is that it uses no harsh chemicals and works off of one nine volt battery. This can be linked to others of its' kind if you need to cover a particularly large area. This dog repellent can be purchased for around $80 each.
