Top 7 Best Dog Repellents (**2020 Review**)

Loose, aggressive dogs are every mailman’s worst nightmare since the days of the Pony Express, and before. But this Halt dog repellent spray contains the active ingredient, Capsaicin, a naturally occurring extract from peppers with a proven ability to deter dogs.

Capsaicinoids, further refined into oleoresin, is such an effective dog repellent that the U.S. Postal Service has used it for the past 30 years to protect their mail carriers from any dog attack. This bestseller dog repellent spray is made in the USA.

This is a handheld dog repellent that produces an accurate stream up to 12 feet. The spray can is only five inches tall and includes a belt clip so it’s always close at hand.

This battery-powered dog deterrent uses 110 decibels of sound in 2-second bursts. The 9-volt battery delivers 1800 such bursts for long use before changing batteries. It will deliver a blast of sound up to 25 feet over a wide area for maximum effect.

There is a wrap-around strap to secure it to your hand while you’re jogging. If aggressive dogs come at you, or you want them to stop barking, just aim it at them like Ironman using his palm blasters and hit the button. The burst of noise will scare them.

You don’t have to be precise or let the dog get too close before using it. It has plenty of deterrent power at a distance. It’s even weather-resistant so you can take it with you, rain or shine.

This is a motion-activated pet deterrent that detects motion within three feet of it and releases a quick, unscented spray that startles your dog and scares them away. The spray reaches a distance of three feet too.

You can use it to keep dogs off your furniture, out of cabinets, or any room where you don’t want them to be. It runs on four AAA batteries (not included) and each canister gives you about 80 to 100 sprays before it needs to be replaced.

Use it as an untended training spray for repelling dogs from areas you want them to stay out of or as an anti-chew training device to keep them from chewing on throw pillows, furniture legs, and so on.

The active ingredients are water isopropanol 20%, bitter principles, and extractives. Due to the isopropanol, don’t put it on your plants. It won’t stain your fabric furniture, carpets, wallpaper, or wooden furniture.

Dogs don’t like the bitter taste so it discourages chewing, biting, and gnawing behaviors. Use this chew spray wherever you don’t want them gnawing to eliminate bad behavior.

Apply it daily at first to keep it strong, then as your dog’s behavior begins to change, you can drop the incidence down to once every two days. It’s made in Connecticut, USA.
