Product Description
Independently conducted Canine Aggression trials show that Spray Shield is effective in controlling dogs exhibiting low to medium levels of aggression (this is the maximum level of aggression controlled with police certified pepper spray). The Citronella Spray Shield does not bring out more aggression in dogs, whereas pepper spray often does. When Spray Shield is sprayed the animal will feel the full impact of the pressurized and offensive smelling Citronella from 10 feet away. Is safe for humans and animals as it does not hurt the eyes. A 3 ounce can contains 13 - one second sprays.

 A good, harmless way to interrupt dog behavior.. November 24, 2008
A. S. Dowling (Cleveland, Ohio USA)
This spray is great for occasions when your dog (ours is a 6 month old puppy) persists in forbidden behavior. A quick spray toward his face stops the behavior without injury to the dog.. He quits the behavior, turns away,and may rub his face on the rug though otherwise unhurt.
 A Must Have for ME October 4, 2008
Denise Ann Tereno (Spokane, WA)
I use this on my own dogs. I have 4 dogs and I walk them all together. Because they are in the "Pack" they love to bark and pull when we see other dogs. I can spray this and they will quiet down and come back to my control. Unlike anything else it does not cause pain or even eye irritation. I accidentally sprayed my Boston Terrier straight in the face and I was worried I had hurt her eyes. She shook her head and looked stunned but no redness or irritation that made her want to even rub them. I have not used it on stray dogs because they have never tried to approach me with my dogs but I did get a can for my 89 year old mother-in-law who is afraid of dogs but likes to walk around the sub division.
Good insurance policy June 30, 2008

I've never had a reason to use this yet, but I like having it available. Originally I bought it to go to the dog run after reading horror stories about agressive dogs and worrying I wouldn't be able to stop a fight if needed to protect my dog. I've never had a problem, though, so i've never actually used it. I have noticed that they keep this in the training/play room at the ASPCA, so it must be a safe but effective product. If you are looking for something to bring to a dog run in case your dog is in a fight, you could also use a simple bottle of water - I once saw a fight over a toy stopped by someone shaking water on the dogs. Totally harmless, and it seems like it would be just enough to redirect their attention.
 Didn't work for my situation June 18, 2008

I have two female dogs that get into fights with each other and bought this product on the recommendation of a professional dog trainer. I saw her use it effectively to prevent confrontations between them, but once the fighting started this product proved to be completely ineffective in distracting the dogs so I could separate them. I sprayed it directly in their faces with no effect.
Pros-
The product can is designed well with functionality in mind. It has a locking trigger to prevent you from accidentally spraying it. It also has a built in belt clip.
The loud hissing noise it makes when sprayed is a good way to distract dogs that are "locking in" on each other.
Cons-
Won't work on an animal that is in an enraged state of mind.
Larger and more aggressive breeds will ignore the spray or be further aggravated by it.
Saved my bacon June 5, 2008

I'm not a dog trainer or professional, so take this with a grain of salt, but...
I had a loose dog come after me and my two leashed dogs while we were taking our morning walk. The loose dog tried to circle around and get me from behind. I sprayed it square in the face and it took off.
My dogs and I have been attacked before. Whenever I put weight on my leg, I'm in pain. I carry DirectStop, Halt Pepper Spray, and a cellphone. I would be afraid to walk without them. With them, I feel confident enough to keep going.
