ultrasonic dog

Does anyone know if electronic/ ultrasonic pest control (like riddex or sunbeam) harm pet birds? I know that it doesn’t bother cats or dogs.

i walk almost every evening when my husband arrives home from work. i have to wait for this time so he can watch the 3 little kids while i walk. we have no dogs of our own just cats. i do like dogs and i am not afraid of them unless they are being aggressive. we live in a very populated shore area of NJ. there are leash laws here but people dont care. 2 times this week i have had a large dog run up to me barking. yesterday it was a pit bull i think and it was big. it came running from the owners front porch and ran up to me while i was walking in the road. i tried my best to ignore it and listen to my music and not run. it actually snapped at my hand but i pulled away. then for whatever reason it went home. i had my ipod on so maybe the owners saw it. i dont know. i was very scared and my heart was racing. i know this is no fault of the dogs but of the stupid owners! i never walk the same route and i always stay in the road. there are no sidewalks and i never walk on peoples lawns or properties because i know that could make an unseen animal feel threatened and i find it rude to walk on someone elses lawn. i can not carry a gun or knife with me its illegal. also a walking stick or umbrella is way to big because i walk fast. i have no pockets. usually my small ipod is clipped to my shirt and i have my phone in one hand and a bottle of poland spring water in the other. i need something small and effective to ward off these dogs. are any of these effective or do you personally know something that is??
can air horn?
ultrasonic dog chaser?
pepper spray?
citronella spray?
i also want something effective that will not cause the dog to be more aggressive. i want to avoid being attacked!
thanks. serious answers only please

dog deterrent

We have a problem with barn rats and have taken all the natural measures to resolve it — food in containers, cats, dogs, removing hiding places, snap traps, live traps, etc. I will not use bait so please don’t suggest it — too dangerous for the domestic animals. My mini horse’s hooves are now the target of the evil barn rats. In a matter of days they managed to tear off hoof wall growth and nibble the frog down to the quick. (They are not going after the coronary band….this is the bottom of the hooves so it’s being done when he lays down.) I have used iodine and wraps and now they’ve gone through that. My shoer has never seen this level of rat activity and only my mini horse is affected. Has anyone found a natural product that can be used to coat the hooves as a deterrent? I am going to try hot sauce tonight but if anyone has encountered this and has a solution, PLEASE help. After a week of iodine and wraps he at least wasn’t sore, but that will change overnight at this rate.

I have a 14 month old border collie, he barks all the time at pretty much everything, birds, planes, cats, possums, random noises and cars especially. My neighbours were swearing at us and yelling out other things over the fence but now they have complained to the council. What should I do? I have looked on the internet and apparently citronella collars don’t work on border collies and I have tried an Ultrasonic remote and he just ignored it, it worked for a week but that’s all. I don’t believe in shock collars but i don’t know what else to do. He is a working dog, he has plenty of exercise he runs around a farm for about 8 hours each day and also goes for a walk most nights as well. PLEASE HELP. I don’t want him to go. And I don’t want a 600 dollar fine either.
I have tried telling him off. my dad gets really crabby with him. he has been tied up when he barks, it works for a little bit but when he gets sick of being tied up he starts barking and if you let him off he barks again

My neighbor has an annoying little dog that won’t shut up. Unfortunately she is also local councilwoman. We have spoken directly to them (before anyone called the police) in the friendliest manner possible and they simply replied that it doesn’t bother them so we should just deal. As she is one the council (and sets the police departments budget) the cops refuse to act. We (and our neighbors) have called the police multiple times but to no avail. Also my roommates have cats so they won’t let me get anything ultrasonic.
While I like the idea of going to the news I live in a small town right next to a large city so all our local stations are the city stations and there’s more than enough other stuff for them not to care. I’m not gonna lie I’ve thought about hitting it with a paintball gun or something but I couldn’t bring myself to abuse an animal.

neighbors barking dog

When they’re home, it’s all good. But as soon as they leave, it’s non stop bark, bark, bark. I live in an apartment, and complaints to the office have gone unfulfilled. The people are pricks to say the least, and when asked if they might be able to do something about it, they respond "it’s a dog. Thats what they do."

Any suggestions for this problem? Anything I might be able to buy from a store? I’m willing to try anything at this point.

Oh, I should also mention that I have 2 cats and don’t want to use anything that might freak them out. I’m not sure if dog whistles are heard by cats.

And before someone mentions it, I don’t want to move. This is the sweetest place money can rent.

Thanks in advance.

No offense to cat lovers but i seem to have about 6 to 10 cats from somewhere in the neighborhood that like to antagonize my large dog at night. These cats will start hanging out in my front yard generally 2 hours after it gets dark and will continue in various group sizes throughout the night. my dog has his own room where he spends most of his time…this room has windows facing the front yard and when he hears/sees/smells these feline bullies he just goes crazy with the barking and trying to get through the windows to them. I have scared the cats off on numerous occasions but they come back if not that night for sure the next night. The cats are not around at all during the day. I can tell the way they group up in the yard and the way they are all facing the house in the direction of my dog’s windows that they are there for one purpose only…..To irritate and antagonize! Does anyone know of something that would work as a cat deterrent or something that would keep them out of my yard? Is there something they don’t like the smell of ? I have been considering chaining my dog up outside for a night or two but i am thinking it might be bad for a cat or two or the cats might step it up a notch and aggravate my dog even closer up knowing he’s on a limited chain.

ultrasonic dog repeller

Bell & Howell have some out that claim to repel ants, roaches, rats, mice, by just plugging them into an electrical outlet, also Good Life and Black & Decker puts them out. They ‘say’ not to use them if you have hamsters, gerbils, etc, but that they are safe for dogs & cats. I wish they’d make something like this for fleas, However, they are not all that inexpensive but if they work, they’d be worth their weight in gold, not to have an exterminator come every month for at least . We live in South Florida so here, it is a necessity to have pest control, and Florida is just one big ant hill as it is. If you have used these, please tell me.

I brought home a 5 month old American Staffordshire Terrier mix from the shelter Saturday (4-5 days ago) and he’s getting better at housebreaking but will pee inside if he doesn’t go out the second he needs to. He goes in one spot it seems, right by the gate that blocks off the bedroom where the cats are hiding out. What’s the best way to curtail this issue? I’ve thought about moving his bed there since I know dogs don’t’ like peeing where they sleep, would that work? How about a deterrent like bitter apple? Help please! I’m running out of carpet cleaner!
When I catch him I yell NO! and take him out immediately, he stops and then continues outside where he gets ons of praise and treats for doing his business outside. I use vinegar and water after cleaning solution to help diffuse the smells as well, maybe that’s not helping?
Also, we live in an apartment (a large one but still, an apartment) and thus I cannot install a doggy door.
