I want to deter both my neighbor and their on-leash dog from entering my yard for poop time. Will this douse my neighbor good and wet? Here's hoping..

All the answers (Daffy Duck, Dena Marshall, and Judy Hall) are right on. From my own experience in setting this up and self-testing is that one pass will soak my pants enough to cling to my skin. I'd call that drenched, but others may not. :)I would not want to stay for another pass. FYI, I have excellent water pressure. I also needed to experiment some to get the correct distance, throw, etc. to hit my target. Works perfect after that.

If it doesn't work with the dog, it will work with owner. It does give a good squirt. Just one thing, it only water one pass. It does not stay on for more that 4 seconds. Then, it needs 8 seconds to reset and do it again.

It would give them a surprise. Just make sure you have the distance calculated!

It will certainly get someones attention. Motion sets it off and you you can adjust the spray (side to side and up and down) and if you have good water pressure, one would be wet before they knew it. The spray only lasts for 3 or 4 seconds, but I think it would do the job. The closer you can set it to the targeted problem the better. Good luck

The leash is great for wet conditions as it does not rot and break like cotton trainers do. It will float until the nylon gets soaked through with water, then it will sink a bit. It will be heavier with the weight of the water it absorbs. There is spray water proofing product you could try on it, giving it time to dry, before use, that might be a help. This is a very good leash. I have had it all summer and use it primarily in dew wet grass to play ball with my 87# white german shepard. If you throw a ball or stick be sure to have the leash out in the direction of your throw so it does not wrap around feet or ankles (rope burn). Also throw less than the 50 foot length so you don't hurt your dog or yourself, or let go and run to the end when your dog stops momentarily to grab the toy.

Unfortunately no, but ive heard that putting dog urine (nasty i know) would help by putting it around the border of your yard. This product helps with when a cat urinates and you need to clean it up and get rid of the smell but it is good to put around if that stray cat was there because itll erase its "territory"

I have not had a problem with that. However, I use this to exercise my dog, not me, so I always keep an eye out for him. He likes to jump at me when he is tired or needs to take a restroom break. I love the tow, and feel very safe.

Thank you for your question! This product is designed to be used in the confinements of your home. If your neighbor's dogs are outside, however, the PetSafe Deluxe Outdoor Bark Control may be a better fit for your needs!

Definitely. Mine is on my balcony. I saw a review from Jemma the Long hair Chihuahua on the internet regarding Piddle Place (you may want to Google her.) She inspired me to place it outside I have kennel runs in my office and I hook the valve on the Piddle Place to a standard garden hose and drain it down a central drain At home I just use the drain valve If your deck is not covered it might fill up with rain, but that would be the only issue If outside, you can probably save money on the bio treatments since odor might not be an issue, and you might use the garden hose trick to drain it somewhere other then the patio or your grass. I have recommended this to hundreds of my patients with new puppies and older dogs and they all give me great feedback. Good luck.

I think you may have a problem. The unit itself is a small box about 2" x about 1.5" with the spray nozzles sort of in the middle of the short end. They need free space to spray out. If your dog's hair is longer than that, and thick, you might have a problem. Alternatively, it does spray pretty powerfully, so perhaps the odor and the wet fur will be enough for your dog to detect it and respond accordingly. :-)

This is also very good to walk dogs and pick up after them. The only drawback is that since the poop is going to be "fresh" you will have to be "crafty" to get it all. My dog poops hard, so it's no issue there. I use a large sandwich bag to put it in. I then put the poop in a garbage bin with a lid, in a tall kitchen bag in it and twist tie it so that I can remove it when sanitation comes and not have it smell up the garage (where I keep the bin) ~ so far, no issues. The Poop Patrol saves me from having to bend down all the way and I have a bad back, so it helps.

We have a trash can with a lid that locks and we take it to the street for trash pick up once a week however. We are considering the doggie Dooley. Basically a septic tank for dog poop. So no added plastic and dog poop to our landfills.

I could never get my dogs to use it. Even after I put a paper towel with urine on the pad. I would imagine you would need to clean it each day so it won't smell.

Since I purchased this item I have had one occasion to use it. Although I don't know if I hit the dog directly, it caused him to make a wide circle and avoid me. Even from a distance, the spray will disperse and be detectable by the dog. Also, the spray stream reaches quite a distance, so you can use it before the dog is too close. I would say that it achieves the desired result.

I have it set to 1. I swear it seems to be getting the next door neighbors dog to my house. They are big dogs. Try it. Keep the box and return it if not. That was my plan but I kept mine.

I no longer have any pets, my dog passed away. But my neighbor brings his dog over and it does not seem to bother him. I have the device in my carport aimed at the hood of my car that was formerly used by a cat (cats) and so far it is working. It only turns on when it detects motion in front of it so it should not affect nearby pets.

saw your question before buying this and had to answer. I just wrote a review but for others wondering same thing, just used it when off leash dog came up to my leashed dog and they started fighting, then what was worse was my dogs prong collar malfunctioned and my dog broke loose trying to get to strange dog. This thing stopped them dead in their tracks! I will never leave home with dog and without this thing ever again. Life saver!

yes the leash allows the dog to use the bathroom, an no it doesn't get dirty from poop/wee as no straps in those areas, also it is easy to put the harness on an off the dog once you get used to it an ajusted to your dog size...

I don't think it's meant to catch the poop, it goes out the tail hole (not a bad thing, otherwise you've got poo stuck to fur). It did a great job for my elderly Maltese who was incontinent. It really improved both our quality of life, as we weren't stressed out about puddles she couldn't control.

Unit works with my two larger dogs (boxers) within 10 feet. However it has no effect on our Morkie. We use this near the front door to help quite the dogs when visitors come. This is our second unit, first one was destroyed by a kid and we felt it worked enough to warrant a replacement. Good Luck.
