You know the block where the gate is always open. Every walk you take the long way instead, and you would rather not have to think about it at all. This handheld dog deterrent device is a compact tool that uses sound to help discourage an approaching dog, small enough to sit in your hand the whole walk. What you get out of it: Deters approaching dogs: helps turn a dog away before it reaches you Humane design: uses sound rather than contact to turn a dog away Powerful and simple: easy to operate when you need it quickly Compact and lightweight: carry it in your hand, your pocket or your bag Built for the route: ideal for pedestrians, cyclists, scooter riders, joggers and outdoor enthusiasts Everyday use: suitable for regular walks and outdoor activities It's made to be carried, not stored. Small enough for a hand, a pocket or a bag, and ready the moment you want it. This is the moment it is for. A dog coming up the path, and you holding the unit out toward it while there is still distance between you. Beagle, pug, French bulldog, shepherd. It isn't aimed at one breed. The unit is shown from the side and the back as well, with its wrist strap and battery compartment. The cutaway names the parts. There's a slide switch with three positions, one of them silent, and a small light set into the front of the housing. Walking through the neighborhood, riding a bike or a scooter, or exploring somewhere unfamiliar, it gives you an additional layer of reassurance for yourself and the people with you. Carry it with you during outdoor activities. If an approaching dog makes you feel unsafe, point it toward the dog and press the button.
