Will this work to deter a charging pit bull?

What if it was a charging lab or boxer? Why would a pit bull be your only concern, especially since most are sweet, wonderful dogs, and any off leash dog can be an issue. Seems like discrimination against one breed. I hope you have it when your neighbors chihuahua gets loose, those dogs pack a mean bite!

I have encountered several loose dogs while walking my lab and had to blow the horn twice for them to turn away. I also carry a pet form of pepper spray. A charging pit bull can be scary the horn is certainly a deterrent but I would also have the pet form of pepper spray.

I'm not sure yet! I carry it hiking and have blasted it several times in the woods to let hunters know I'm there. Works great for that. No dogs have approached me since I got the horn.

My neighbor's chihuahua killed my Pit Bull last week - my Pit Bull choked to death.

Ummmm. I'm pretty sure none of us would like to experience that and why that question anyway???

Get some pool shock chlorine from Home Depot and put in a good spray bottle. May want to try some bear repellant

I don't know if it is designed to deter larger animals. The only animals we have had trouble with is mice, for which this device is excellent.

I have the Sport Dog SDF-100A fence and this collar works with it. I believe it will work with most Pet Safe in ground fences.

I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process. It also worked on a pitbull puppy that I was helping my daughter train to walk on a lease. He also learned quickly. I think the product is great and would recommend it to anyone. It must be used correctly though ( I watched the DVD several times before each lesson to make sure I was following MY directions for proper technique and consistency ) and ONLY with just enough force to get the results. Good luck with your puppy :) I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process.

No, it will not stop a dog from leaving an area. It's only meant to deter a dog from barking but it didn't do that for my German Shepherds or my Pit Bull, unfortunately.

Sure. It should work on any properly installed fence. This energizer is rated for bears in case that matters.Some energizers are intended for thinner skinned animals that have a lower ohm resistance to overcome thanbears do. So you might ask, depending on what the fence is for whether or not you want that much of a jolt. If you are trying to keep bears out then this is the definitely the right one. As far as fence function goes that mostly has to do with how clear the fence is kept from weedsand other things that can sap power and what the total run of the fence is in terms of feet/miles. Sure.

It will definitely work BUT we found out it doesn't work with other systems.....you have to buy the collar that goes with it. It did keep our dogs out of specific areas of the yard, though, it's definitely not strong enough like a wireless fence to keep dogs "in" the yard.

I wouldn't trust it. Although it works pretty well on a medium size dog in attack mode, it did not stop the dog. The dog shook its head two or three times, then continued its attack. Don't trust anything that you don't know for a fact will stop S.T.O.P. any creature/critter in attack mode.

It stopped my herding dog from herding my horses so I assume it would. Every dog is different. You will have to be able to identify when the dog is going to jump the fence and hit the button right when he thinks about it. Hope that helps. Good luck.

We don't walk ours either and haven't tried, so to answer that specifically, I don't know. I do know our puppy was in full stride toward a protective buck complete with antlers this past week, and he was ready to lower them down and put up a fight-which could kill a dog-and a shock stopped him. It saved his life, I'm sure. So, I'm guessing yes, it would probably work. The vibrate feature also works to get attention when you need it. I hope that helps.

Yes, I believe it will work. It is a little flimsy and my dog is too scared to use it.

Well first need to figure out what they are fighting for... Food, dominance, or just a breed always ready to challenge... ( breed of dog). Long coated dogs need the long prongs attached example german shepards, boxers and beagle hair wear short prongs.( the connection points for correction) Shocking the aggresser dog that starts it needs to know you are correcting and doing it. So start with that dog by itself training some things in yard at a low level 2-3. If dog doesn't listen then a nick correction along with a no. Then when dogs are together if the mean one looks at the other one say no & hit the constant button at a level 4-5 for example. But if they engage in the fight you will have to turn it up to the highest level not guaranteed to stop them. Warning they may act perfect with collar on and then return back when collar is off. Dogs learn the weight of the collar. Just FYI. If they engage in fight can even throw a bucket of wate on them to break it up. This collar will not work for crating together but for living together it may help a lot. My ex had a pit and my pointer did not get along. Pit was an angel with the collar on not fighting going on walks etc! It allows for stimulation correction when we know unwanted behavior is going to happen or is happening when dog is off a ways to be reached at that moment. Good luck

It doesnt. This product never really work, and it stopped working altogether after only two months. My aussie is dead (hit by a car) and I paid $360 to get my other dogs out of the pound. Please, spend the extra $200 on the petsafe brand. It works! Just run the wire down around the end of the drive and back up.

It works if the "collar" stays in the right place. It only worked sometimes on our 9lb toy fox terrier. We returned it.

I believe it will. The noise the can makes interrupts the dog's focus on what it's doing. To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure if it would work on my dog when I first got it. I was at my wits end and was praying I wouldn't have to go the shock collar route. I bought it anyway and kept my fingers crossed with the thought in mind that at least it didn't cost a lot. Happily it worked and it worked very well.

It should unless your pit bull is really large. Either way you can buy additional links that click right in for a few extra bucks.

I don't know if it will, I am not familiar with the training methods. However ,I did get great results using it on my Mastiff mix . I have an older lab/pit mix and my younger mastiff can be quite aggressive with him. After a couple hits of the dog repeller followed by a stern " no" , she is leaving him alone. I would definitely give it a try, I was sceptical about purchasing it, but now I'm glad I did. I also use it on my very aggressive rescue cat. She's worse than a pitbull when she gets ticked off. The last time she tried to attack me, I hit the repeller and she backed off.
