The Dazer is not designed to be effective against all dogs which include docile, deaf, infirm and highly trained dogs. Its airy double weave unites two-coloured yarn blends of linen and polyester to create a third colour mix. One day she was walking along and a dog (large alsatian) in an adjoining garden came up to the gate barking.

The only time it didn't work was when the dog got really close to me and was going towards our little dog with hackles up and teeth bared!

The path is a well marked section of the promenade but I find that the particular part of the prom is very popular with dog walkers and,of course, the dogs are nearly always off lead resulting in frequent 'incidents'. There's a few loose dogs and we needed a deterrent, we checked into pepper spray and airsoft pistols. However, follow our simple tips and you’ll be well on the way to keeping magpies away from your garden, fields and lawns.

And, using the Dazer, you can also chase a cat out of the garden when it is going after young birds in spring.

We are in the diary making stage at the moment (it's not only their dog that is the problem) and we don't really know what will come of it as it's not constant, but if we do nothing, nothing will happen . Problem is the edge of estate backs onto less salubrious houses including the one owned by our friend with his rottweiller.But, as a training tool that for the most part breaks through the intense concentration of the behavior at the moment, it is brilliant. I'm looking for a small handheld device that could be used discretely and not always necessarily pointed direct at the animal!
