HALT 91427 Dog Spray, Red

Easy to spray. Fits in pocket. WORKS. Use it on neighbors barking growling pit bulls at my fence. They stop the noise and stay away.

I have had to use this on neighborhood dogs twice over the last year or so. In both cases, the dog stopped coming after me and my dog, but they didn't cry and didn't act like it was terribly painful, so I think it's a mild enough deterrent to not feel terrible about using. I don't want to injure a dog just because they have an irresponsible owner.

Seems to be working. I have a 5lb yorkie and the neighbors have a pit bull that keeps digging under the fence to get to my dog. We tried filling the holes with concrete but it would just dig around it. We started spraying it with halt. It works great but you have to be close. Good product for the price.

This has been PERFECT. We have two rottweilers on our daily walk that sometimes are out unattended and one likes to charge down the street after my dogs. I don't know if they mean to hurt them or us, but it is not safe and I'm not taking a chance. After I got this, one charged within days. I yelled NO about 10x but it kept coming. When it was about 3 feet away, i sprayed right for the face. The dog turned immediately and went home. As I walked past, feeling guilty, it was rubbing its face all over the grass. I saw it a few days later and it was fine. then about a month later, it charged us again, when we were walking with a friend and 2 other dogs. It went after her dogs so I got close and sprayed in front of it vs. on it. Must have had a memory because it seems when it got a sniff it left quickly. We turned around. So it doesn't seem to harm them when sprayed directly and was a deterrent when sprayed close (maybe because of the previous experience). I like that I can spray from several feet away. I think it would be good at even longer distances but I wanted to give it a chance to respond to my NO AND GO HOME.

A must buy

After wasting a LOT of money, I asked my mailman what he used and this was it! Most of the others I have purchased you can actually accidentally spray in your face. Also if the wind is blowing you need to take that into consideration 😬. I have to walk almost a mile to a bus stop through my neighborhood that has a lot of stray dogs and owners who don't care and let their dogs run at large. This is more of an aerosol and not a pump, your finger can only fit one way, it is not as bad as capsicum, read the instructions and how it works. In my opinion this is the most humane spray I have stumbled upon. If by chance I am able to get a video I will update my review.

Should have a safety on it.

I bought a couple cans of Halt back in 2020 AFTER a dog attack on my dog and I. I never had used either can all these years (it is now 2025). Someone new moved into the neighborhood that I walk my dog in and their dog keeps jumping the fence and getting out. This new dog has bitten two other dogs in my neighborhood and has approached my dog a few times but the dog was ok. This morning however, the dog came charging full speed at my dog and I. Luckily I had brought my HALT dog spray on the walk. When the dog was 2 feet from my dog, I sprayed the dog with my can of HALT. (Thank goodness the can still worked after all these years of never using it!) Thank you HALT for your product. You saved my dog and myself from injury! IT WORKED! The dog did a quick reversal and walked away!
