Ultrasonic dog repeller: customer reviews. Does it make sense to buy a repeller?

In terms of issues relating to stray animals, Russia is still far from civilized countries. Almost no one is immune from attack by a flock or an inadequate host dog. To fight back, a stick or a stone in urban conditions can be found quite difficult. And the attack can be very fast when there is simply no time left to search. In addition, these instruments of protection still need to be able to properly use: they are more suitable for men in whom the spirit of a warrior is preserved, than for children or women. Fortunately, the latest advances in technological progress are able to protect those who do not want to get into a fight. It's about ultrasound repelling dogs.

This device raises many questions (which one to choose an ultrasound repeller of dogs, which is better, whether it works, whether it is cheating, etc.). This is explained by the rather narrow distribution of this device: it can not be said that it exists in every family, such as a microwave oven. Therefore, it is understandable the desire of those interested to know what is the ultrasound repeller of dogs, which is better. Reviews are often contradictory: someone says that the thing really saves life and health, and someone - that the device absolutely does not fulfill its functions of scaring away and is intended only for making money by producers. The truth of the latest statements makes one question the fact that reviews of specific models of this device are usually informative and have a positive coloring, and negative reviews are usually left in the style of "garbage all this". With regard to a device called "ultrasound dog repeller", the tip will be useful only if the person who wrote it used it when attacking the dog.

To not have to apply

There are certain rules of conduct, observing which you can minimize the risk of attack of an individual dog or flock. Of course, in some cases, which are extreme situations (attack of a rabid animal, manifestation of aggression on the orders of the owner, etc.), they will not help. But in some typical clashes, knowledge of these rules can help to avoid bloodshed.

We list the main recommendations for behavior when encountering an animal:

1. You can not let the dog know that they are afraid of it: try to run away, hysterical, squeal, empty-handedly wave and show that kind of behavior of weak prey. It will be right to continue calmly and slowly without turning your back to it.
2. A dog usually perceives a fast moving object as a sporting goal, all hunting instincts are told to attack it. Here you need to assess the situation on your own: when riding a speed bike, you can simply leave it far behind, and when running it will be more reasonable to slow down or even stop. This will lead to loss of interest.
3. You can not tease, swing or show any other aggression towards the dog if there is no willingness to enter into a direct confrontation with her, since all these actions may not scare, but cause an attack.

Means of protection from dogs

In the instruments of defense, several groups can be distinguished:

• Assistants (stone, stick, even dust, leaves, etc.);
• Mechanical - specially designed for protection or which can be used in this capacity: a knife, a bunch of keys, a fork, brass knuckles, etc .;
• Chemical - aerosol gas cartridges or burning mixtures of own preparation (pepper, tobacco, mustard);
• Shooting - traumatic and conventional pistols;
• Electric - electric shock (used for close combat, may not be effective against dogs with long hair);
• Ultrasound - based on the generation of ultrasound.

The mechanism of work

The ears of a man and a dog hear a different range of sounds: our are able to perceive frequencies no higher than 20 kHz, and the brothers of our smaller ones - up to 40 kHz. This is the principle of the repeller's work: animals hear ultrasound, which for them feels unpleasant and causes the desire to get away from the source of discomfort, that is, to leave the area of action of the device. The person does not hear these frequencies, so they do not cause any reaction and do not cause harm.

Doubting the effectiveness of such devices or the feasibility of buying it makes sense to purchase a budget option for testing, for example, ultrasonic repeller dogs "Cobra". Reviews about it are good, despite the low price.

Advantages of using ultrasound to repel

Protection with ultrasound has a number of unique features in comparison with other ways:

• Complete absence of harm to the owner and the surrounding people;
• Can be used at a distance of up to 30 meters;
• Does not cause pain or harm to the animal;
• Does not require special preparation;
• Compact dimensions of the protective device.

If we sum up all the reviews about the repellents, then we can say that actually using this device confirms its effectiveness in 80-90% of cases when attacked as single dogs or strayed in packs. The effect can be slightly lower if the device is used for particularly brave alpha males, pack leaders. In this case, absolutely all manufacturers do not hide and openly indicate in instructions that on specially trained, rabid or completely or partially deaf dogs the device will not work. If you try to use an ultrasound dog repeller in this situation, the feedback about it will be unambiguously negative.

In which cases can I use an ultrasound repeller?

The ultrasonic safety device is intended for:

• For self-defense;
• Protect your animal from another animal attacking it;
• Training (individual models have a special mode for this purpose).

Many negative comments that the device does not work properly come from those who inattentively read the instructions and misused the ultrasound repeller of dogs. Reviews of its uselessness are also left by people who have tested the device on quiet or even unnecessarily affectionate dogs: they really do not work for them and will not cause any visible violent reaction.

General rules for working with an ultrasonic repeller

Observance of the following rules and recommendations will ensure the correct operation of the device:

• Usually the best effect is achieved when applied at a distance that is half the maximum range. For example, if the manufacturer declared it at 30 meters, then it is better to apply from 15 meters, if 10 - then from 5.
• The button for activating the ultrasound mode should be pressed with short movements of 1-3 seconds duration, rather than pressing continuously. With this method of use, the effect will be better.
• The repeller with the pressed button should be directed to an aggressive dog, but it is better to do it imperceptibly, without throwing out the arm with the instrument far ahead: the dog can perceive this action itself as a manifestation of aggression.

Cost of ultrasound dog repeller

The prices for this device are determined by the country of manufacture, the reliability of the manufacturer and the set of functions, as well as the characteristics of the device itself. They can vary from 300-400 rubles. When making an online order on the website "Aliexpress" with delivery from China to 3000-4000 rubles. When buying at a regular store.

Ultrasonic dog repeller with own hands

Such devices are modern and technological, but the craftsmen learned to make ultrasonic repeller of dogs from improvised materials. The testimonies indicate that money is saved at the same time, but time is wasted. Collect the best product possible, but not at all easy. If we assume that the person who wanted to design himself showed enviable persistence and found the necessary radio components, then there remains a rather complicated problem of finding a qualitative ultrasound radiator of a given power.

The action of the factory deterrents has been checked, accurately measured and can not cause harm to either animals or humans. With regard to the homemade device, one can only hope so. Yes, it's nice to realize that you created a working ultrasonic dog repeller with your own hands. But before making a choice, it is important to assess how critical the continuity and reliability of its operation is.

Model differences

Each ultrasound repeller of dogs has its own technical characteristics. Which to choose? This decision must be taken based on the main parameters of the repeller:

• Radiation power is the main indicator, the efficiency of the device and the range of the device directly depend on it. In the digital sense, it varies in different models from 90 to 120 decibels. Even a small difference in practice causes significant changes in the efficiency of the device. Among the popular models on the Russian market, the highest indicator of the repeller "Sobakam.net", it is 121.9 dB.
• Number of ultrasound emitters. Rarely, but one can find models not with one, but with two radiators. This contributes to the greater power and reliability of the device. For example, the Chinese AD-100 ("Thunder-125").
• Is there a digital controller that supports a certain power at any battery charge ("Dogs. No"). If it is available, you can be calm that the device will operate in maximum mode, until the battery is discharged completely.
• In addition to the main purpose - scare by ultrasound - there may be additional options: a flashlight, a flashing light (chaotic light flashes also do not like dogs) and a special mode for training.

These characteristics, from a technical and functional point of view, describe which ultrasound dog repeller. Which is better subjective, decide the buyer.

One of the most economical and yet proven to be effective is the AD-100. Very good ones are left on the ultrasound dog repeller AD-100 reviews. "Cobra" also like consumers. With decent technical characteristics (up to 15 meters and up to 120 dB), the price of this model of the Russian manufacturer is one of the lowest (several hundred rubles).

On the totality of these characteristics, among the most common models, the most worthy ones are:

• "Sobakam.net",
• Dazer-2,
• AD-100 ("Thunder-125").

The table shows their main characteristics.

These devices are the leaders in the number of positive reviews. However, there are positive responses to other devices:

• SuperDogchaser (hand-held multifunctional ultrasonic dog repeller LS-977F);
• Repeller of dogs OOO "MNPF" Alex "" electronic;
• Ultrasonic repellents of dogs "Typhoon".

"Sobakam.net"

Models of repellents "Sobakam.net" and "Sobakam.net Flash +" cause pride for the Russian manufacturer. For stability of operation, both devices have special multi-level digital power monitoring systems. The "Flash +" model is more expensive for about a thousand rubles due to the addition of the author's technology "sound drawing" and super-bright LEDs.

Dog Repeller Dazzer-2

Dazzer-2 - long and well-proven model from the US. The main thing is that when buying, be sure that you are not getting a fake. The unrolled and widely advertised ultrasound repeller dog Dazer-2 really rightfully occupies one of the leading positions.

AD-100

It has long been recognized by those who do not want to overpay for the brand, the ultrasonic repeller dog AD-100. The testimonies indicate a high reliability, good technical characteristics, three modes of operation: the model enjoys a well-deserved recognition.

Repeller AD-100 (or CD-100, or "Grom-125") belongs to the category of quality Chinese products. Especially suitable for those involved in sports or children will be the presence in this model of special holes to wear it on the strap.

Stationary scarers

Pocket scares are in great demand, which can always protect a person during his travels. But manufacturers also produce separate stationary models. They are installed on the wall of the house or a fence and protect a certain specific territory: the yard of the house, children's playground, parking lot, etc.

Film phobia

Be afraid of dog packs, moving around a dangerous area, or ill-bred neighbor's dog - it's perfectly normal. But there is a large group of people who are experiencing an irrational horror towards these animals. This is one of the most common types of zoophobia. Fear of dogs - film phobia can occur at any age. The reason may be not only the attack of the animal on the person himself, but also that he saw how an attack occurred on an outsider. Fear of a susceptible phobia, most likely, will never come true, but it can seriously poison life and spoil your nerves. These people need a repeller for their own peace of mind. Correct behavior here will be an orientation toward peaceful coexistence, but the device will simply give confidence in the security of possible unpleasant incidents with dogs.

It would be very useful if each recalled an ultrasound dog repeller left a comment about his particular model. A greater number of real descriptions would allow with greater confidence to consumers to treat this useful device and avoid dog attacks.
