"Thankfully haven’t had to use this but I do feel a bit more secure walking my dog when some aggressive unleashed dogs may be out. Better than having nothing. I read the reviews and I think it can work used properly. Hopefully never have to use it."

β€” Jennifer

"As another reviewer mentioned, I also had this clipped and lost it. The clip seemed flimsy but it was inconvenient to carry by hand, and putting it in a bag or fanny pack wouldn’t make it easily accessible, so now it’s gone. Very disappointed but I don’t want to pay almost $8 to get a new one ..."

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a reliable and effective dog repellent spray, Halt! Dog Repellent Spray is a strong contender. Its effectiveness in deterring aggressive dogs and providing a sense of security make it a valuable tool for walking or pet sitting. However, the clip issue should be noted and its use bypassed by carrying in a bag or instead hand held.
