Description of Halt! Dog Repellent 1.5 oz
Who knows more about dog attacks than the mailman? Letter carriers have had to deal with aggressive dogs since Claudius Polonius was delivering rolls of parchment to citizens of the Roman Empire. So what do the experts use to repel dog attacks? Well, the U.S. Postal Service has been using Halt! Since 1966. You might say they have been conducting field tests for over thirty years. Halt! Products use Capsaicin, a naturally occurring extract of peppers, which, when sprayed in a dog's face, causes only temporary, but extreme discomfort for the dog.Think of it as attitude re-adjustment. Halt! Stops him in his tracks, giving you time to move out of danger. Halt!'s pressurized spray is accurate up to 10 feet.Sports reviews of Halt! Dog Repellent 1.5 oz
Customer Review: Halt
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This product has made me feel more comfortable walking my dog every day. However in practicing using it, I find that the nozzle is pointing the wrong way. When you pull the can from your belt you need to turn the can slightly and adjust your fingers to be able to spray properly. It should automatically be pointed in the right position. But I still receive a lot of comfort by taking it along. Hopefully I will never have to use it, but there are a lot of not so smart people out there that let their dogs run loose and that is why I bought the product. Thanks for asking.Customer Review: Good Insurance

Fortunately I haven't had an occasion to use this product yet. My dogs and I have been attacked twice while walking in my neighborhood, so I won't walk them without some type of pepper spray. I had a different brand and the can only contained .3oz. I emptied the entire can on one dog before he finally gave up attacking my dog. The Halt contains more and the clip on the side holds the can securely. Seems like a good product.Customer Review: Limited Range

The spray kind of worked. I can usually discourage a dog by just pointing the can at them. However, when I had the opportunity to discharged the repellent, I was a little disapointed with the range. The stream range is actually less than the described 10 to 12 feet. The effective reach was more like 2 to 3 feet! Also for one dog, I had to literally "paint his face" to get him to react.Customer Review: Like it/Haven't used it - yet!

Following recent fri/sat fights thru our ranch fencing; neither wanting to let go; neighbor's $300./my $288. vet bills, I went on-line for the answer to breaking up future confrontations (neighbor's dog the aggressor) with the least amount of harm. I choose HALT!
because of it's effectiveness and it is the choice of the U S Postal
Service.
Customer Review: Very Good, but not 100% effective

From personal experience, Halt is effective about 90% of the time. If the dog is very aggressive or a guard dog, it is a very short, temporary stop. Time enough to run like hell!
