Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Acting!, December 8, 2007

PERSONAL ACCOUNT: I live in a rural area where I take my black labrador for evening walks. We often encounter loose or stray dogs eager to challenge us. My only defense had been to pull on my dog's leash, yell at canine attackers to go away and hope for the best. Last week I took along a can of HALT. Within minutes of leaving the house 2 large aggressive dogs came charging toward us as we rounded a corner. I whipped out the spray and delivered a dose to the lead attacker, who instantly stopped in his tracks. He and his buddy hurriedly left the scene!

CONVENIENCE FACTOR: It's easy to carry the can in a coat pocket or clip it to your jeans. The trigger is well designed to make it easy to aim in a hurry. The small can fits easily in your hand if you wish to keep it handy on your walks. I was carrying it my coat pocket during the time of the attack and was able to retrieve it quickly. NOTE: I've added 2 customer images showing how well the can fits in your hand.

EFFECTIVENESS: The repellent stopped the charging lead attacker within a distance of 5 feet. The dog did not yelp or appear to be in any discomfort, but his aggressive intentions were instantly thwarted. He and his companion have not bothered us since that evening. I highly recommend this dog repellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, but watch out for dog owners reaction, January 31, 2008

I agree with the other reviewers that Halt stops dogs in their tracks and they don't yelp. What they do though, is run back home and start trying to wipe the chemical from their eyes and face. When the owners see this (yes they watched the whole attack, snickering to themselves),the owners will come after you. This has happened twice to me. In one case the owner chased me with the leashed dog and released it on me and my dog to verify I had sprayed the dog. After you nail the dog, get the heck out of there.

5.0 out of 5 stars This product saved my dogs life, June 18, 2006

Our dog trainer recommended this product and I bought it to carry with me when I walked my dog or road my bike. My daughter was walking our dog when it was attached by a large, stray dog. My daughter sprayed this in the dogs face and it sedated the dog instantly and my daughter was able to go to the nearest house for help. My dog suffered some rather large wounds, but I can't imagine what would have happened had my daughter not carried it with her. She probably would have tried to intervene and got attached herself.
