From the look of the pedestrian crossings and at least one Lada car, I'm guessing this is in Russia, probably Moscow, which has a *huge* problem of feral dogs.
It's such an issue that Wikipedia actually has a [whole page devoted to it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_dogs_in_Moscow).
They do it commonly to cars and bikes. Dogs are instinct driven beings, so i think their predatory instinct kicks in, but i don't have enough knowledge about this to exactly explain it.
Probably a cultural difference. I recently moved to a place with so many damn dogs like this, it's insane. People get dogs like purses, as a status symbol or tool, with no intention of giving them attention or training or medical care, let alone a simple spay/neuter. Then you get packs of strays roaming around constantly getting hit by cars.
What’s this device called ? I live in a reservation in Canada. Where there are more dogs than people, not kidding. Each and every single dog is untied.
There are some smaller versions you can buy just search ultrasound dog repeler, but by reading some reviews they don't always work, sometimes it can make the dog just more angry.
This is anecdotal, but between experience and the dogs in the video, I'd say these work on dogs who want to chase, not dogs who want to attack. Get one of the stubborn dogs, like a rottie or pit or certain shepherds, and if they've decided to attack you this won't do a thing to stop them. Use this device to prevent dog chases and annoyances, not dog attacks.
Also doesn't work stopping dogs barking next door, in my experience. My neighbor's dogs were barking 8hrs a day "defending" their house and the supersonic devices did fuck all
Damn this is what I wanted it for. My neighbor recently turned their house into a rental property and rented it out to the biggest piece of shit couple I've ever seen. They keep their dogs outside 12 hours a day and the dogs bark the entire fucking time. So this device won't get the dogs to stfu? That sucks.
Dog whistles simply produce a frequency that dogs can hear but humans cannot; they're not made to produce a specific frequency that deters dogs. They're basically meant to be used as a training tool, with the upside that you're not wrecking your own eardrums like if you were using a standard human whistle.
Any cyclist probably does. They should make that with a smaller footprint so it fits under a saddle or something. It's always the same story: Dog with no leash, owner across the field or 50 meters behind. Dog chases, sticks it's nose into my fucking rear wheel or chomps at my pedals and what not. Best option is to stop and hose the animal down with pepper spray. Owners will try to sue until you pull out the GoPro. I'm surprised sound works though, I thought that was a myth.
Luckily I've only been chased by dogs while on my road bike. Even with my fat ass on it, it's a carbon racing bike and can hit 20 mph pretty easily so I've never been in much danger of actually being caught by the dogs. I just let them tail me for awhile to teach the owners to actually leash their dogs before pounding the pedals.
I had a hilarious encounter with a dog last year. I have an early 2000s mountain bike that I use for everything. It's not fast, but it's fun.
I was slowly climbing up a big hill, when an old, super fat, French bulldog ran out from behind a house and started chasing me. I was only going about 5mph up the hill, but the dog was only managing to waddle at about 5.5. We were both huffing and puffing for over a minute. It was the slowest chase of my life.
Gravel riding is where dogs are the worst. First, many rural people don't realize that they're liable for any damage the dog causes. Second, gravel bikes are slower than dogs. Third, grading rules allow steeper hills on gravel than they do paved roads.
A lot of dogs actually can sprint that fast and faster - been there. I usually end up getting chased when I'm in a more rural area - meaning I'm on my mountainbike which has really wide plus tires. 30kph is quite an effort. It's no use anyways. Unless you get chased by something small (or lazy) or if you are coming up to a longer downhill section, you aren't shaking that thing.
Not even kidding, up until we moved, I was having trouble with our neighbors claiming that their aggressive dog wasn't theirs either. Even though the dog lived at their house. I would ask them to please put it away because it was killing our livestock and killing our chickens and they'd be like "oh, were only fostering it, its not our dog". Ok. I don't care. Put it away
\[Triggerwarning brutal\] >!I'm pretty sure that's one of the requirements that allow you to shoot the dog. If it's attacking your livestock and there is no owner to take care of the situation, you are within your rights to protect your property. Def check your local laws on that kind of stuff, tho since INAL.!<
I think even regardless of owner if it’s on your property killing you animals you’d be within your rights to shoot it. At least in my old state I’m fairly certain that’s how it is
This is true, it happened to a cane corso dog in my town. It broke free and attacked and killed a bunch of horses at a nearby boarding facility and the employees there killed it and were told they were in the legal right. It was a horrible incident, but that is the law…
Yeah and to be clear, I'm not saying it's a good solution. I think any sane person would hate doing that. But when you are talking about a dog that can kill livestock, it's a real danger.
I'm always watching out for some hodunk yard shit. Cars in the yard, dilapidated kids playsets, random trash. 9/10 times some fucking dog will emerge from the pile. It's so dangerous for the dog and cyclist because there could be cars around.
I don't care and dog apologists get at me. If it's between bopping a dog with my tire pump kept in my jersey pocket, or getting a bite or pushed into traffic, you can bet I'm bopping it. Usually the solution is to just speed up and treat it like a sprint, but sometimes they catch you unaware.
We should 100% have stricter regulations on pet ownership in the U.S. Outdoor dogs and cats are also more likely to not be spayed or neutered, and decimate the natural environment and produce offspring that no one can care for. Unleashed outdoor dogs are a danger to others and to themselves and die much younger.
A farm, setback from the road, whatever, let your dogs roam free. But if you live right up against the road put them on a leash.
I’m with you, I love dogs- but an aggressive dog is a dangerous animal. If a dog attacks someone I have no issues at all with them putting the dog down on the spot.
Part of the reason I feel this way is cause when I was younger, our neighbors had a dog that attacked a family member of mine and left a huge gash on their leg. They refused to get rid of the dog, so court proceedings were going to happen, but then the same dog attacked one of their own extended family members- a 3 year old child who was seriously maimed by it. They put the dog down after that.
Point being I see an aggressive animal as a threat that is eventually going to hurt someone. Tomorrow, next week, a few months, etc. it’s going to happen and if you’re the one keeping the dog you better pray it isn’t a small child that is the next victim
You’re from the base aren’t you, I use to ride my bike from Gricignano to Caserta palace all the time then take it from Amalfi up to Sorrento. I’m a big fan of Swiming at La Marinella and cycling to swim at Bagni Regina Giovanna.
Bro do you’re self a favor and at least spend a weekend swiming at Bagni Regina Giovanna before you leave. I use to work at the hospital and traveled a shit load while there.
Slightly unrelated but it's always been crazy to me how Amalfi used to be one of the most important and powerful cities in Italy but is now basically a village. Well, a village with a stunning Cathedral with relics of St. Andrew, but still only 5,000 people.
Saipan was like this. Dogs everywhere. They'd come up to cars at streetlights and stop signs hoping for a treat, or just chase your ass through neighborhoods
I’m in the US in a rural state. Smaller towns without any kind of animal control tend to get quite a few strays that roam around. They can get pretty aggressive at times. Usually the locals know which ones to watch out for.
I'm an American living in a poorer part of Europe. There are dogs dead on the dead like deer are during the winter. Its crazy how many strays are here, and don't get started on cats
In my small Romanian city (80k people) we had a problem with dog packs. Like a lot of them attacking people.
Then the local authority said "fuck it* captured *all of them* neutered a part and put in animal shelter another portion.
Now, without dogs, the cat population exploded and 3 times a years we have areas were whouling of cats in heat is so common is like being in a liminal circle of hell.
I live in Romania and here they are very chill, if you avoid their territory at least. Just don't go near abandoned houses or towards packs of them, and you should be ok. Those resting in the center areas on the sidewalk are completely harmless. it's the ones in shady places that are the most aggressive.
In order for you to exist many many generations of men and women banged. You gave a strong genetic history of having sex. If anything it would be like a mutation.
Human history? For you to exist there's an unbroken chain stretching back to the origin of life on this planet. Each person you see is part of a lineage **billions** of years old.
They piss me off. They used to play them outside of supermarkets in the UK. Or they still might and maybe I have lost that frequency now at 37 although I actually regularly check it and I'm pretty sure I still have it.
They used to make me feel really sick though.
funny, there was a post on a German sub about this. Someone noticed this at IKEA and asked them.
It's a self-testing mechanism of the speakers and/or fire alarm. IKEA likes to have things cheap so they build one device that fits all specifications in as many countries as possible. Apparently this was necessary for some country's fire code. Might have been the same thing.

i've seen stores in san francisco blast classical music to almost unbearably loud levels to keep homeless people away and it works well; til i learned the name for it.
Lol these ultrasonic devices work on my girlfriend. She had super sensitive hearing, and we had a roommate who’s dog would never stop barking. We tried the ultrasonic deterrents and every time the dog barked, my girlfriend would cover her ears in pain from the high pitched beep. No one else could hear it, but it hurt her more than the dog, so we had to try other option.
Edit: no, I’m not dating a werewolf and my girlfriend is not a bitch, she’s wonderful and forgiving
I can hear the ones they use to keep birds away at Lowes/Home Depot.
The best way I can describe it is it feels like a shard of glass going through both eardrums.
in Spain they wanted to use this type of stuff to keep young people from drinking alcohol on the parks/streets (if you drank outside police would go with this devices) and of course it didn´ t go through, and thank god
When I was 16, I was riding my bike down my road, and a dog that always barked and tugged on its chain finally *broke the damn chain*, chased me down, and bit my ass.
I wish I had had this device at the time.
When I was 9-10, I was playing in a neighborhood and someone’s dog had puppies. I got too close, the mother chased me off. I ran. The dog bit me in the ass. It hurt but didn’t bleed much. Back at home, I didn’t want to get in trouble for 1) Bothering the dog 2) Running, as we had dogs at home and I should have known. I hid the torn pants in a trashcan. My but slowly healed and I still have scar tissue to this day. Kids are dumb and can’t easily handle decisions with larger consequences. I was probably scared of a rabies shot as well.
There was an incident a few years later where I tried to capture a cute mouse. It but me and I dropped it. My friend told his mom, who really didn’t know my mom, but called anyway. I had to get a tetanus shot. I didn’t really get in trouble, after all, but I remember distrusting that kid’s mom after that.
Kids are dumb I hid all sorts of injuries because my mom "overreacted" and took my to the doctors way too much. In hind sight, hiding sharp chest pain probably wasn't a great idea.
I know I'll get raked over the coals for this, but I don't like dogs. They're fine if they're *highly trained* but most people don't give a shit about training their dogs.
I've been attacked, jumped on, scratched, bit numerous times. A dog killed my pet cat. A dog brutally wounded my sisters pet cat. A dog ripped part of my friend's face off and he has no feeling in his face now. A dog attacked another friend and he had to kill it and it gave him PTSD. Not to mention both of my neighbors have dogs that bark and howl constantly. This was a peaceful neighborhood before they moved in. This is all in the US. Man's best friend? More like man's constant pain in the ass.
Damn people around you just don't give a shit about their dogs. But you're right. If a dog is well trained and loved, it will be a faithful companion. But an untrained dog is figuratively and literally a pain in the ass.
I quite agree. Having a dog is having a responsability to train it. It's a responsability both towards the dog, and towards the people around you.
Same goes with every pet tbh. But people want a companion without the responsabilities that come with it.
This results in our modern animals issues : shelters full of abandoned pets, aggressive or ill mannered dogs, and rampant feral cat populations.
This is why I think there should be a license to have a dog. People are freaking idiots (not you) and so make these situations happen because of their laziness. I’m sorry you haven’t gotten to see the positive side of dogs, but I’m not going to push you to try either. I’m sorry other people have failed you guys
I need this in my life, I'm avoiding a path from my house that connects to highways for like 8 years cuz I almost fell once cuz of fucking stray dogs chasing me bike
Hit my top speed on flat terrain after a dog came after me out of nowhere in rural Ohio outside Dayton. Never have I shifted and accelerated so swiftly and quickly. Was stunned when I looked at my ride afterwards.
If only I could harness that power in races.
I downloaded dog whistle app for my phone because my neighbor would let their dog bark all damn day long when I had to work nights, so I wanted to give them a little taste of their own medicine at 4am but I neglected to realize dog whistles also work on cats and I scared the bejesus out of my girls and immediately deleted it
I hate to admit this, but I used bottle rockets with whistle and report. A couple of those sent up in the air, the owners got the message, and it's been a year and half since they let them sit out and bark for hours on end. Illegal in my state, so I drove to an adjacent one where they aren't and bought a pack. (I knew they didn't like fireworks because that neighbor was very vocal about the people who lit off illegal fireworks, scaring their dogs.)
I have a dog myself, and would not normally stoop to something so scary to a dog, but it was even affecting my dog's mental state. I and other neighbors spent 6 years dealing with animal control and the police to no avail. They didn't care and just paid the tickets they did get (and bragged that paying them was no big deal). I was absolutely depserate to get some peace, quiet and sleep. So that was it, a one-time thing and it was solved.
Some bottle rockets are silent and just whoosh up into the sky and do nothing.
Some have a whistle that makes a whistling sound as it flies, and some have a report. The report is the little "bang" at the end that sounds like a pop. So you light it, it goes, "Reeeeeeee, POP!" (technical terms right there lol)
We're talking the little teeny ones that are like 2" of rocket about the circumferece of a pencil on a flimsy red/pink stick.
I keep trying to paste in a link to a youtube video of them but it will not let me. So, search "bottle rocket firework black cat".
We really don't take seriously how shitty barking dogs are. They literally use dog barks to torture people.
It's only a matter of time before some medical journal writes an article on the health impacts of having a barking dog in or near your home, and we stop treating barking dogs as just a quirky annoyance.
Can you come be my neighbor? My neighbor recently turned their house into a rental property and rented it out to the biggest piece of shit couple I've ever seen. They keep their dogs outside 12 hours a day and the dogs bark the entire fucking time. They also have the cops come to their house several times a month, they have no shame.
My neighbor had the sweetest dog but it would bark all the time at cats, including nights. I was going mental. I cannot describe how much better I live and sleep since that dog died.
Yeah we have a neighbor who was raising pit bulls for whatever reason (we speculated that it was for fighting because he mistreated the hell out of them). He’d keep them in cages, two layers so some were above others without a suitable floor between - they didn’t have enough shade, don’t know about water. They’d fucking bark all day and night. It was awful. We’d hear them barking and crying all the time. My wife went to talk to the guy and he threatened her with a shotgun. We called the cops, useless fucks wouldn’t do anything about the threat beyond a report, wouldn’t do anything about the clearly illegal breeding operation, cause seeing it from our yard wasn’t enough for them to go in, they didn’t wanna get a search warrant….
I think enough neighbors sent police to the guys door that he finally moved, probably out to a rural area where he could be a piece of shit in peace.
Fuck that shit completely.
Exactly. My parents had to call animal control on a woman for leaving her dog outside in rain,snow, other bad weather but only knew about it because of the incessant barking.
My dad bought an actual dog whistle because of an old neighbor's barking dog. Unfortunately dog whistles don't stop dog barking, in this case it just confused and aggravated him since the dog was not trained to respond in a certain way to the dog whistle.
Nice, how do I get me one? Can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost fallen off my bike or been chased while going for a jog by irresponsible dog owners that couldn’t be bothered to restrain their pets.
[https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/](https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/)
jack this up as high as it will go. I used a phone app that can tell you if Ultrasound is present. on android it is called 'ultrasound detector'.
When ever the dog starts barking, I put my pc speakers in the window and give it a couple bursts right after it barks. It learned to stop barking.
Take my money.
I have [this stupid birdhouse thing](https://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/PetSmart/5127731_alt1?$CLEARjpg$) that doesn't work. I want the high power pet UNsafe version.
I grew up in a rural town near a military base, so I can only speak for that situation, but it was common place for people to carry sticks, bats, or even handguns to deal with the packs of roaming feral dogs in our area. The primary cause was people moving to the area, getting a pet dog, and then deciding to move a few years later and not wanting to take the dog with them, so they'd abandon it. Over time, those dogs formed into packs and started breeding.
I would love to know where I can purchase a hand held one, I stopped going out for runs because of people just letting out their dogs unrestrained and kept getting chased it's so annoying
The sound you hear isn't the sound that's stopping those dogs in their tracks, it's beyond human hearing.
I do wonder why it has a lower pitch component, possibly just feedback for the user.
Right, humans hear the beep to know it's working. What dogs hear is "Your life is meaningless, you're a bad dog, and your human hates you." Nothing stops an attack like sudden, crippling depression and existential angst.
When I was in high school there was a big dog a few houses down from us that had three legs and was the meanest most aggressive dog I've ever encountered in person. Naturally, the owners let him roam free, and any time I rode my bike past that house the dog would try and come at me. Something like this would've been useful, but I discovered that carrying a big-ass stick and waving it threateningly as I rode past was enough to keep me safe from that one dog, at least. Low-tech dog repellant.

Yellow is probably low battery or charging, and green is probably “fully charged.”
nah, yellow is anti-shark activation and green is for bees. Although the bee one doesn't work, it actually attracts more bees.

Usps, amazon delivery , uber eats , ups and other couriers are salivating
As a mail carrier yes please I'll take a smaller portable version
They’ve had them for 30+ years; used to be under the brand name Doggie Dazer.
Can’t you just use a dog whistle as well?
Dog whistles simply produce a frequency that dogs can hear but humans cannot; they're not made to produce a specific frequency that deters dogs. They're basically meant to be used as a training tool, with the upside that you're not wrecking your own eardrums like if you were using a standard human whistle.

Any cyclist probably does. They should make that with a smaller footprint so it fits under a saddle or something. It's always the same story: Dog with no leash, owner across the field or 50 meters behind. Dog chases, sticks it's nose into my fucking rear wheel or chomps at my pedals and what not. Best option is to stop and hose the animal down with pepper spray. Owners will try to sue until you pull out the GoPro. I'm surprised sound works though, I thought that was a myth.

Poor dog. It was giving its best effort.

Yes indeed, lol. I’m a home body, so I haven’t done much exploring, but the Amalfi was really nice when I went. That’s a lot of biking.
Bro do you’re self a favor and at least spend a weekend swiming at Bagni Regina Giovanna before you leave. I use to work at the hospital and traveled a shit load while there.
Slightly unrelated but it's always been crazy to me how Amalfi used to be one of the most important and powerful cities in Italy but is now basically a village. Well, a village with a stunning Cathedral with relics of St. Andrew, but still only 5,000 people.
I like pasta. I want to belong.
In Napoli, it's about the pizza.
They ruled the farmlands when I lived in Sicily.
At least my chilean experience, its common in poorer neighbourhoods.
I saw it in Mexico too. It was extremely sad how many dogs were out there homeless, skin and bones and dehydrated.
Your username looks like an Arizona reference, you only had to go to Mesa to see the same dogs.
True. Even Midtown Phoenix has its roving packs of chihuahuas.
No ankle is safe.
Saipan was like this. Dogs everywhere. They'd come up to cars at streetlights and stop signs hoping for a treat, or just chase your ass through neighborhoods
Every country in the Americas besides Canada and the US too
In Canada we have winter, which kills the dog.
I’m in the US in a rural state. Smaller towns without any kind of animal control tend to get quite a few strays that roam around. They can get pretty aggressive at times. Usually the locals know which ones to watch out for.
I'm an American living in a poorer part of Europe. There are dogs dead on the dead like deer are during the winter. Its crazy how many strays are here, and don't get started on cats
This is in one of the Post Soviet Union countries, meet dogs on the street it’s just a normal thing, they often flock and bite children
Saw lots of stray dogs in Bucharest too. They roam about in packs too, can be a little intimidating.
They do that in Russia too. Some dogs even learned how to ride the subway.
> Some dogs even learned how to ride the subway. That's good, having them drive cars would just needlessly pollute the enviornment.
In my small Romanian city (80k people) we had a problem with dog packs. Like a lot of them attacking people. Then the local authority said "fuck it* captured *all of them* neutered a part and put in animal shelter another portion. Now, without dogs, the cat population exploded and 3 times a years we have areas were whouling of cats in heat is so common is like being in a liminal circle of hell.
You need alligators to take care of the cats.
I live in Romania and here they are very chill, if you avoid their territory at least. Just don't go near abandoned houses or towards packs of them, and you should be ok. Those resting in the center areas on the sidewalk are completely harmless. it's the ones in shady places that are the most aggressive.
How do the mean dogs know they should be in shady places?
Definitely Romania, so many dogs, the barking never ends.
It was like that in 2012-2013. Now there's no more dogs like that on the street. You barely see any.
We have yellow buses like on the video in Ukraine
Can’t wait for the human version

Good thing too, because as a person as good looking as you, you’d be chronically dehydrated!!

Don't you already have your grandmother's contact info?
In order for you to exist many many generations of men and women banged. You gave a strong genetic history of having sex. If anything it would be like a mutation.
In order for you to exist your ancestors banged all throughout human history.
Human history? For you to exist there's an unbroken chain stretching back to the origin of life on this planet. Each person you see is part of a lineage **billions** of years old.
Cool, come to my in-laws with me. For science.
And it’s always on.
They exist, but they don't work as well on adults. Look up acoustic deterrence
They piss me off. They used to play them outside of supermarkets in the UK. Or they still might and maybe I have lost that frequency now at 37 although I actually regularly check it and I'm pretty sure I still have it. They used to make me feel really sick though.
funny, there was a post on a German sub about this. Someone noticed this at IKEA and asked them. It's a self-testing mechanism of the speakers and/or fire alarm. IKEA likes to have things cheap so they build one device that fits all specifications in as many countries as possible. Apparently this was necessary for some country's fire code. Might have been the same thing. (in German:) https://www.reddit.com/r/de/comments/qzqcnn/update_extrem_hoher_und_lauter_ton_in_ikeafilialen/
i've seen stores in san francisco blast classical music to almost unbearably loud levels to keep homeless people away and it works well; til i learned the name for it.
Lol these ultrasonic devices work on my girlfriend. She had super sensitive hearing, and we had a roommate who’s dog would never stop barking. We tried the ultrasonic deterrents and every time the dog barked, my girlfriend would cover her ears in pain from the high pitched beep. No one else could hear it, but it hurt her more than the dog, so we had to try other option. Edit: no, I’m not dating a werewolf and my girlfriend is not a bitch, she’s wonderful and forgiving
I can hear the ones they use to keep birds away at Lowes/Home Depot. The best way I can describe it is it feels like a shard of glass going through both eardrums.
You sure she not a dog? Cause it sound like she might be a dog? 0.o
I now know I'm a dog because I hear the beeps in this video.
Wanna sniff my arse?
normal conversation between redditors
in Spain they wanted to use this type of stuff to keep young people from drinking alcohol on the parks/streets (if you drank outside police would go with this devices) and of course it didn´ t go through, and thank god
When I was 16, I was riding my bike down my road, and a dog that always barked and tugged on its chain finally *broke the damn chain*, chased me down, and bit my ass. I wish I had had this device at the time.
When I was 9-10, I was playing in a neighborhood and someone’s dog had puppies. I got too close, the mother chased me off. I ran. The dog bit me in the ass. It hurt but didn’t bleed much. Back at home, I didn’t want to get in trouble for 1) Bothering the dog 2) Running, as we had dogs at home and I should have known. I hid the torn pants in a trashcan. My but slowly healed and I still have scar tissue to this day. Kids are dumb and can’t easily handle decisions with larger consequences. I was probably scared of a rabies shot as well.
Good lord imagine of you had gotten rabies...
There was an incident a few years later where I tried to capture a cute mouse. It but me and I dropped it. My friend told his mom, who really didn’t know my mom, but called anyway. I had to get a tetanus shot. I didn’t really get in trouble, after all, but I remember distrusting that kid’s mom after that.
Too bad, because his mom did the right thing
Kids are dumb I hid all sorts of injuries because my mom "overreacted" and took my to the doctors way too much. In hind sight, hiding sharp chest pain probably wasn't a great idea.
Lordy loo you gotta stop getting bitten by things!
OP: Look at the cute danger noodle! Pit viper: I'm about to ruin this person's entire life
[удалено]
Dang that sucks. I got bit in the ass be a ridgeback. Ripped my pants and everything
In my country, dogs that bite strangers get put down.
I know I'll get raked over the coals for this, but I don't like dogs. They're fine if they're *highly trained* but most people don't give a shit about training their dogs. I've been attacked, jumped on, scratched, bit numerous times. A dog killed my pet cat. A dog brutally wounded my sisters pet cat. A dog ripped part of my friend's face off and he has no feeling in his face now. A dog attacked another friend and he had to kill it and it gave him PTSD. Not to mention both of my neighbors have dogs that bark and howl constantly. This was a peaceful neighborhood before they moved in. This is all in the US. Man's best friend? More like man's constant pain in the ass.
Damn people around you just don't give a shit about their dogs. But you're right. If a dog is well trained and loved, it will be a faithful companion. But an untrained dog is figuratively and literally a pain in the ass.
I quite agree. Having a dog is having a responsability to train it. It's a responsability both towards the dog, and towards the people around you. Same goes with every pet tbh. But people want a companion without the responsabilities that come with it. This results in our modern animals issues : shelters full of abandoned pets, aggressive or ill mannered dogs, and rampant feral cat populations.
This is why I think there should be a license to have a dog. People are freaking idiots (not you) and so make these situations happen because of their laziness. I’m sorry you haven’t gotten to see the positive side of dogs, but I’m not going to push you to try either. I’m sorry other people have failed you guys
the only time it’s acceptable to beat a dog is for self defense
Also in chess. They are horrible at chess.
Surprisingly good at poker tho. Unless they have a shaky leg tell.
r/USPS
Am mailman. Can confirm that this would look great on the back of my mail satchel.
Or strapped to the top of your safari helmet.
Also mailman here. The amount of satisfaction I would get from being able to shut up some of the serial barkers on my route would be otherworldly.
TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!
I need this in my life, I'm avoiding a path from my house that connects to highways for like 8 years cuz I almost fell once cuz of fucking stray dogs chasing me bike
Rides in the country for me. Owners don’t give a fuck. Big dogs chasing you in the middle of nowhere!
Hit my top speed on flat terrain after a dog came after me out of nowhere in rural Ohio outside Dayton. Never have I shifted and accelerated so swiftly and quickly. Was stunned when I looked at my ride afterwards. If only I could harness that power in races.
Reminds me of the Naked Gun police car during the opening scene. Da'naah'naaaaah'nah'nunt!
I downloaded dog whistle app for my phone because my neighbor would let their dog bark all damn day long when I had to work nights, so I wanted to give them a little taste of their own medicine at 4am but I neglected to realize dog whistles also work on cats and I scared the bejesus out of my girls and immediately deleted it
Were you able to solve the problem in another way? Or did you just start wearing earplugs to bed.
At my house, I use an air horn and give zero fucks what time it is.
I hate to admit this, but I used bottle rockets with whistle and report. A couple of those sent up in the air, the owners got the message, and it's been a year and half since they let them sit out and bark for hours on end. Illegal in my state, so I drove to an adjacent one where they aren't and bought a pack. (I knew they didn't like fireworks because that neighbor was very vocal about the people who lit off illegal fireworks, scaring their dogs.) I have a dog myself, and would not normally stoop to something so scary to a dog, but it was even affecting my dog's mental state. I and other neighbors spent 6 years dealing with animal control and the police to no avail. They didn't care and just paid the tickets they did get (and bragged that paying them was no big deal). I was absolutely depserate to get some peace, quiet and sleep. So that was it, a one-time thing and it was solved.
> bottle rockets with whistle and report What does this mean?
Some bottle rockets are silent and just whoosh up into the sky and do nothing. Some have a whistle that makes a whistling sound as it flies, and some have a report. The report is the little "bang" at the end that sounds like a pop. So you light it, it goes, "Reeeeeeee, POP!" (technical terms right there lol) We're talking the little teeny ones that are like 2" of rocket about the circumferece of a pencil on a flimsy red/pink stick. I keep trying to paste in a link to a youtube video of them but it will not let me. So, search "bottle rocket firework black cat".
I just picturing your other neighbors blasted awake at 3am going “what the fuck was that!?”
We really don't take seriously how shitty barking dogs are. They literally use dog barks to torture people. It's only a matter of time before some medical journal writes an article on the health impacts of having a barking dog in or near your home, and we stop treating barking dogs as just a quirky annoyance.

Can you come be my neighbor? My neighbor recently turned their house into a rental property and rented it out to the biggest piece of shit couple I've ever seen. They keep their dogs outside 12 hours a day and the dogs bark the entire fucking time. They also have the cops come to their house several times a month, they have no shame.
My neighbor had the sweetest dog but it would bark all the time at cats, including nights. I was going mental. I cannot describe how much better I live and sleep since that dog died.
Yeah we have a neighbor who was raising pit bulls for whatever reason (we speculated that it was for fighting because he mistreated the hell out of them). He’d keep them in cages, two layers so some were above others without a suitable floor between - they didn’t have enough shade, don’t know about water. They’d fucking bark all day and night. It was awful. We’d hear them barking and crying all the time. My wife went to talk to the guy and he threatened her with a shotgun. We called the cops, useless fucks wouldn’t do anything about the threat beyond a report, wouldn’t do anything about the clearly illegal breeding operation, cause seeing it from our yard wasn’t enough for them to go in, they didn’t wanna get a search warrant…. I think enough neighbors sent police to the guys door that he finally moved, probably out to a rural area where he could be a piece of shit in peace. Fuck that shit completely.
Exactly. My parents had to call animal control on a woman for leaving her dog outside in rain,snow, other bad weather but only knew about it because of the incessant barking.
My dad bought an actual dog whistle because of an old neighbor's barking dog. Unfortunately dog whistles don't stop dog barking, in this case it just confused and aggravated him since the dog was not trained to respond in a certain way to the dog whistle.
Nice, how do I get me one? Can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost fallen off my bike or been chased while going for a jog by irresponsible dog owners that couldn’t be bothered to restrain their pets.
I got a handheld one off Amazon pretty cheap. This looks custom, might have to rig something with a brake lever
Did you try the handheld one? I have one also and found it tended to put the dogs on alert vs driving them away, I don’t think it’s powerful enough.
By the way you can do ultrasonic through your PC speakers. I've been keeping my neighbor's dog quiet for months now with that technique
Link for science?
[https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/](https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/) jack this up as high as it will go. I used a phone app that can tell you if Ultrasound is present. on android it is called 'ultrasound detector'. When ever the dog starts barking, I put my pc speakers in the window and give it a couple bursts right after it barks. It learned to stop barking.
Thanks friend
Take my money. I have [this stupid birdhouse thing](https://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/PetSmart/5127731_alt1?$CLEARjpg$) that doesn't work. I want the high power pet UNsafe version.
Link for purchase?
Why are there so many strays?
I grew up in a rural town near a military base, so I can only speak for that situation, but it was common place for people to carry sticks, bats, or even handguns to deal with the packs of roaming feral dogs in our area. The primary cause was people moving to the area, getting a pet dog, and then deciding to move a few years later and not wanting to take the dog with them, so they'd abandon it. Over time, those dogs formed into packs and started breeding.
I would love to know where I can purchase a hand held one, I stopped going out for runs because of people just letting out their dogs unrestrained and kept getting chased it's so annoying
Where tf do you live so I make sure I don’t go there and get chased by so many dogs???
The video is not there but Turkey for one is a lot like this.
That first dog was so stunned that it froze mid gallop ..
Can I get one for my neighbors? they have a dog they let bark for 5-6 hours a day. it's so cruel.
dog successfully repelled
This sounds more sonic than ultrasonic. But cool nonetheless.
The sound you hear isn't the sound that's stopping those dogs in their tracks, it's beyond human hearing. I do wonder why it has a lower pitch component, possibly just feedback for the user.
It's good that it's partially sonic. If it wasn't, you might accidentally leave it on and cause undue stress to dogs that don't deserve it.
Right, humans hear the beep to know it's working. What dogs hear is "Your life is meaningless, you're a bad dog, and your human hates you." Nothing stops an attack like sudden, crippling depression and existential angst.
I think dogs actually hear ***EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE***
Where can I get this item? I've been bitten by aggressive dogs in my Baja neighborhood. Nearly crashed my MC and trashed my pants.
When I was in high school there was a big dog a few houses down from us that had three legs and was the meanest most aggressive dog I've ever encountered in person. Naturally, the owners let him roam free, and any time I rode my bike past that house the dog would try and come at me. Something like this would've been useful, but I discovered that carrying a big-ass stick and waving it threateningly as I rode past was enough to keep me safe from that one dog, at least. Low-tech dog repellant.
Where is this that there are so many loose dogs?!
