Dogs should begin to be discouraged at about 20,000 hz. most "dog chasers" range from 20,000 to 25,000 hz. If you are using this app on an iPod or iPhone remember to point the bottom of the device at the animal(that's where the speakers are located) I have used this app to deter curious or barking dogs, but I have not used it against aggressive animals. Everyone should have a backup plan if any such device fails. Pepper spray is like the next to the last resort, because the lingering spray on the dogs body could alert the owner and trigger a police response. If I am on foot in a residential neighborhood, I usually carry a few milkbones in my pockets. Sometimes bribes work better than threats.

With 5.3 Million Scoville Units of heat it's the hotest spray on the market, in use by many police departments around the country, ans effective on both 2 and 4 legged critters. Legal to carry everywhere here in Florida the only limitation is that the canister can't contain more than 2 ounces of spray. In Virginia I was able to carry a 4 ounce canister. Just be sure you're upwind, or nearly so, when you discharge the stuff. Best Rick Cremer, PI Sarasota, FL Personally I prefer my canister of Fox labs Pepper Spray.

A hand held Stun Gun or taser does the trick. I went ot one house to serve a summons and had a rotwiler meet me at the front gate. And I am sure his Bite would have been worse than his bark. I carry a 200,000 volt hand held taser bought at the local pawn shop. Did not even have to touch him just held it out in his direction flip the togle switch on the side and he went on the porch and was very quite. And also it is legal to use as a self defence against personal attacks. Also for those pesky dogs. A hand held Stun Gun or taser does the trick.

FYI--there is a good online short course offered via Humane Society University titled "Dog Bite Prevention for Law Enforcement & other First Responders". Among other things, the course teaches you how to anticipate what a dog might do by reading his body language signals and how to react based on those communication signals. Good article.
