The fear caused by a dog attack can cause deep psychological trauma and cause a nervous breakdown. But bites are much more dangerous, because any dog, even a domestic one, can carry rabies in its saliva, and this is deadly. And the treatment for it is long and extremely unpleasant. But even if you are lucky, and the dog is not infected with rabies, lacerations from bites heal for a long time, blood poisoning or torn blood vessels are possible.
Homeless dogs can pose a serious danger, for example, during the mating season – at this time they gather in packs (the so-called “dog weddings”). It happens that the dog was unlucky with the owner, and from a cheerful friendly puppy, he raised an insecure, unloved, and therefore embittered beast for the whole wide world.
The problem is acute for people who travel a lot and often on foot: messengers, postmen, tourists, joggers and children on their way to school and home. No matter how much a person imagines about himself, he is powerless in front of an angry animal, no matter what size it is. He does not have claws and teeth to give a worthy rebuff.
Here are the best, according to the KP, ultrasonic devices that can eliminate the danger in the bud. A person hears sounds no higher than 20 kHz, and dogs – and with a frequency of up to 80 kHz. Moreover, they distinguish up to 9000 different keys. Loud, abrupt and unexpected ultrasound causes them anxiety and fear, leading to flight.

How to choose a dog repeller
As with the choice of other gadgets, first of all, you need to be guided by common sense. Repellers are divided into manual or stationary devices, and their purpose is different.
Hand-held repellers are personal protective equipment that fits easily into a bag or pocket. They must be carried with you and used in the event of the approach of a pack of wild dogs. They usually run on batteries or an accumulator.
We advise you to choose repellers specifically on batteries – you can simply charge them before going out and be sure that the device is not discharged and will work. Checking if the batteries are working will be more difficult.
Stationary repellers are usually installed in house adjoining areas, in gardens, yards, playgrounds and other areas where the presence of wild animals is undesirable. They are designed to scare away not only dogs, but also, for example, foxes. They are often installed next to chicken coops.
Stationary repellers work on batteries, accumulators, from the mains or from a solar battery. Network appliances are the most stable, but you will have to find a source of electricity where you connect them, and possibly run wires around the site.
Popular questions and answers
Answers to questions from readers of the KP gives Maxim Sokolov, expert of the online hypermarket “VseInstrumenty.ru”.
What are the most important parameters of dog repellers?
This indicator should not be lower than 100 dB – otherwise the device may be ineffective against dogs. Choose a repeller with ultrasonic pressure of 110 dB – this is the most suitable indicator.
2. Sound frequency
Make sure the device is set to a frequency that only dogs can hear, between 22 and 40 kHz. Human hearing does not perceive such a range – therefore, the repeller will not cause him any inconvenience.
3. Range or protected area
Hand-held devices cover an area from 5 to 20 m. The greater the range, the easier it will be to frighten away dogs running in the distance. It is better to choose devices with an indicator of at least 10 m. With a repeller with a shorter range, you may not have time to react to an attack in time
For stationary repellers, the protected area can be about 200 sq. m. The indicator must be selected depending on the size of the plot.
4. Automatic trigger function
Stationary devices are equipped with this function. Usually on the repeller you can set a certain frequency of operation. For example, 1 time in 20 minutes. But more expensive devices are also equipped with a motion sensor – ultrasound turns on when uninvited guests are detected on the site.
5. Availability of additional functions
Many hand-held repellers are equipped with a flashlight. It helps not only to illuminate the road in the dark, but also additionally scare away dogs with the help of bright and even flashing light.
The siren function may also be useful. If the ultrasound does not work, the dog can be scared off with loud sounds of a different range, audible even to a person. In addition, the siren can attract the attention of other people in an emergency or scare away not only dogs, but also intruders. For example, robbers or just aggressive people.
6. Power adjustment
Many repellers can be set to a certain power.
• At the maximum you can scare away stray dogs.
• With a minimum, you can train your own dog – for example, wean it to pick up garbage on the street or gnaw on furniture at home. This method does not cause aggression in most dogs and does not form fear of its own owner. But it is important not to overdo it with such training so that the dog does not feel severe discomfort.
7. Reviews
When choosing a repeller, it is very important to pay attention to the reviews of other users. So you can find out for sure whether the device is effective against dogs and whether it causes discomfort in people. From the description of the seller, you will not be able to find out for sure. Only the experience of people will tell you whether to buy a device.
How to use a dog repeller?
With most handheld models, you only need to press a button to turn on the ultrasound. Sometimes you have to hold down the button to keep it going. And sometimes the ultrasound continues to be heard even when you release the button. But it is important not to forget to turn off the device after, so as not to alarm all the animals around.
The instruction that comes with the kit will always help you figure out how to work with your model of the repeller.
Are dog repellers dangerous for people?
But many low-quality devices can make an unpleasant sound for people. This can cause anxiety or a headache. Therefore, we advise you to read the reviews of other users before buying and check the device before use.
Does the effectiveness of the repeller depend on the breed of the dog?
Also devices in most cases do not work on dogs with rabies. Please note that these are not necessarily aggressive animals with foam at the mouth. They can be both overly affectionate and very lethargic. Cloudy eyes, foam at the mouth, and rapid breathing can indicate the disease. In this case, try to just calmly go away and avoid the bite by any means. Repeller in this case can provoke aggression.
Many users have experimented with repellers. They showed that some street dogs run away after turning on the device, some do not react to it, and some animals can even respond with aggression.
Is it possible to make a dog repeller with your own hands?
But we still recommend purchasing a repeller created by professionals and tested by other users. So there will be more confidence that he will help in an emergency and will not cause you a headache.
In addition, do-it-yourself repellers are often quite inconvenient. They are more difficult to carry and apply. It is better to choose a more ergonomic device from the store.
What to do if you meet an aggressive dog?
• Don’t panic and don’t run away. The dog may have a chase instinct. Even if the device worked and the animal moved away. Your running might provoke her into a chase. In addition, dogs are more likely to attack those who are afraid of them. Calm behavior and the command “Fu!”, Said in a firm voice, will help drive the animal away.
• Better don’t look the dog in the eye. She may perceive this as a manifestation of aggression.
• Throw any object away from you. This can distract the dog and you can safely leave.
• And remember that the repeller will not help you in an emergency if you forgot to check its performance or put it in the far pocket of your backpack. An aggressive dog will not wait for you to remove the device and insert new batteries into it. Take care of everything in advance.
