As a person who frequents the outdoors for exercise, I know and am very much aware of dog attacks and how frequent they occur. The mere threat of such an occurrence almost persuades me to not exercise at times. I am certain I am not the only one seeing that there are millions of dog attacks each year throughout the United States; and almost 20% of those attacks result in urgent hospitalization. There is no doubt that a dog attack is a daily reality for many.

Canines communicate by way of body language from all types of sources. Whether it be another dog, a human, or another type of animal, dogs can detect the slightest changes in mood and emotion. They communicate through indicators like posture, tone, and even smell and sound pitch. They can more so detect a female from a longer distance due to natural female odors the body emits.

No matter the intent or nature of your presence, how it is interpreted is subject to interpretation by the dog interpreting your presence and body language. So, what may be casual to other people may not been as such by a dog. So, what you may assume is a non-threatening demeanor may very well be interpreted as threatening by a dog you walk by. Despite the nature of the body language, what is being communicated is a matter of interpretation. And, what is seen as casual or non-violent behavior to a human may be different to a dog. The hardest part of this is that it is almost impossible to tell what a dog is thinking until it’s too late.

Knowing this, I try to maintain a safe distance at all times. But, sometimes a dog may not be so kind to keep such a safe distance from me. Most of the time, when they do not distance themselves, they continually bark and make the passer-by even tenser. I have been in the situation, and in all honesty it can be one of the scariest moments of your life.

Some people advocate non-physical methods to deter an attacking dog; some even advocate sound devices. But I have yet to hear of a successful story of fending off an attacking dog using those methods. I did my own research, and found that many have recommended electronic dog repellent because of its effectiveness. So I visited the site that was recommended to me, I purchased the electronic dog repellent, and I have never felt safer than I do now.

Save yourself the time and effort in reading about other useless products, and get the very same electronic dog repellent I bought for myself. It is always better to be safe than sorry!
