Last weekend, the neighbors were dog sitting and the dog wouldn’t stop barking when I was in the garden. So, I got out the dog dazer, pressed the button and he moved away to other parts of the house! Dog Dazer IIworks great!

Grannick Bitter Apple Original Spray for Dogs 16oz

If you want a product that keeps on deterring your dog’s bad behaviour even when you are not there, you will want to buy a dog repellent spray. The best of which is Grannick’s Bitter Apple Original Spray. Similar to the Get Off spray, this deterrent spray is based on a proven recipe that makes any treated areas unbearable (but not harmful) to dogs. This means you can stop your puppy from pooping (stool) or urinating all over your home and furniture.

Pros:

  • Stop dog chewing or biting – spray this dog repellent product on the area being chewed and chewing will stop immediately.
  • No stains – this spray will not stain any surfaces e.g. furniture or couches that you spray it on.
  • Odour free for humans – although the odour of this deterrent is revolting to dogs, it usually cannot be detected by humans.
  • Better than homemade solutions – homemade dog repellent spray recipes are often hit or miss, this repellent spray is effective all of the time.

Cons:

  • Regular re-spray needed – you may find that you need to re-apply at least once every 3 days on high traffic surfaces for it to be a suitable deterrent.

Real User Review:

My very lovable puppy has stopped chewing my furniture thanks to the Grannick Bitter Apple Original Spray, so to me this repellent spray is a godsend. I recommend it to anyone having problems with their pet (cat or dog) biting or chewing. Since I’ve been using this spray my dog can’t stand it & she has stopped biting in less than a week. Awesome!
