Dog MACE Granules, Dog Repellent

This product DOES NOT WORK. Not even a little bit. Our dog is literally smaller than my hand (I'm a big guy) and it was 1000% unphased by this junk literally the next morning after I spread the entire bag throughout one side of our yard. It did not affect the dog's behavior or the area of the yard it went to at all. Not even a tint bit. And, again, it's a very tiny puppy so there is no way on Earth this garbage is working with any dog.

I don't have any dogs. However, a couple large neighborhood dogs kept using my perfectly manicured lawn in a territory marking competition, or in some kind of doggy communication system, which would inevitably stain and kill my lawn beyond repair with unsightly yellow spots. Once, a neighborhood dog owner left a physical brown package, of the poopy variety, to tell the other neighborhood dogs what kibbles that dog had yesterday for its breakfast. How rude. Anyways, I don't own a dog, so me and my perfectly manicured lawn were innocent victims in all this ridiculousness. So, I purchased this doggy Mace product to see what it could do, sprinkled it along in the front yard next to the sidewalk and poof... problem solved. For some reason, the smell of the ingredients in the doggy Mace turns off dogs to using the bathroom, and from my observations they move on to another yard to do their business somewhere else besides my front yard. No more NEW doggy yellow notes to each other or physical brown packages. Old ones still exist but will be using it next spring to ward off another doggy turf battle on my lawn which will again be perfectly manicured. From the comments I read previously, this product is not good at training your own dog, so I guess those disappointed purchasers need to look for other innovative ways in training their dog. This product worked great for my needs. 5 stars.

What a great big waste of money and my time spreading it in the yard. Absolutely DOES NOT work! I've tried to go through the return process on Amazon and they direct you to the company. Emailed the company and received no response. So I guess I paid $25 for nothing. 100% satisfaction guarantee is a joke like the product. Spread on our yard as directed on package and dogs were walking through the product while it was being put down. Don't bother trying it because it won't repel anything. If anything it attracted animals. Later in the day after the product was applied we had a hole dug in our yard. Throughly disgusted with both Amazon and Nature's Mace.

It did not work. My dog ate it.

Not terribly effective. Plants still getting ripped up by our 7 month old pup.

Looks, let's be real, unless you're going to jump out and chase away every dog, there is no magic way to stop dogs without a fence or other barrier. Anyway, like many on here, I have a problem where dogs will mark on certain spots, mainly the mailbox post. Since it is all grass, this of course ends up killing the grass due to the build up of nitrogen. I bought this product due to it being granules instead of a spray, as it seemed easier to apply. It's made up of various scents with the idea that dogs will in general either not like it, it will irritate their nose or maybe just overpower the other mark scents. Once a dogs marks a spot, various other dogs will now want to mark over it when they smell it, and it seems almost all dog owners do not bother to stop them, even if it's right up on a mailbox post (vs just peeing generally somewhere on the grass). Trying to change the behavior is mostly futile. So I have been spreading this around, and especially reapplying after heavy rains. At most I let it go 2 weeks before a reapplication. I don't smell anything when just standing there, but of course a dog will be right on the ground. To figure out if this is worth buying more, I have gone through camera footage from before and after, tallying up which dogs are marking there. And ultimately it does seem to work, but it's on a case-by-case basis. It seems to depend on the dog, ultimately. So what does that mean? Well, if your issue is with just one or two dogs, it's really going to be hit-or-miss on if this does anything for those particular dogs. But when you have a bunch of different dogs, it will at least reduce the occurrences across all the visitors. I plan to buy more in the end.

Completely and absolutely worthless. Supposedly good for up to 1400 sq. ft. , but perhaps they meant square inches? I used an entire bad on a grassy pathway between our house and an external garage, measuring 12 ft by 10 ft wide. Our 2 dogs, an Australian Shepherd and a Staffordshire/Border Collie mix acted completely unaware of any application and continued to cross that area, poop there etc. I'll go to the store and try ground red pepper, can't be any worse and much cheaper.

I dont think this product works , dogs still go in my grass and trees

May be a good deterrent if you’re able to be at home to pull them up if they start digging, but of course mine only digs when I’m not home and thus was not enough to stop the digging
