The manic Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I am plagued by aggressive dogs in Soi Cosy Beach but have had problems when cycling in other places such as Nong Khai. So I was thinking of getting a dog repeller device. It is supposed to emit a sub sonic noise that causes the dog to run away. Does anyone know if they actually work? Can we buy them in Thailand? Thanks in advance for sensible, relevant answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is neat in that it has an audible mode also which lets out a squelch that pretty much puts them on notice of they surprise you (like walking around a corner and dog !)...I used that once and he stepped back immediately and then I hit him with the ultrasound and he ran across the road. I'm pretty sure the squelch would also work on a pesky Thai ex but I have not verified that yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you get one, attach a squirt gun to your bike full of ammonium. It won't harm the dogs, but they hate the smell and will avoid you. You only have to squirt them once ... they remember!

CaptHaddock Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I notice that no one reports any actual experience using these devices successfully, just unsubstantiated opinion. Well, they don't work. The batteries in these devices are far too small to be able to produce a blast of sound loud enough to intimidate a dog, particularly an angry dog. Years ago I tested one while running. I would get up as close as possible behind some unsuspecting mutt and let him have. With one exception, there was never any reaction. The dogs weren't startled, much less frightened. There was one small terrier who, after getting "blasted" by my sonic device, did kind of look around with a worried expression. If he had been intent on ripping my throat out, I doubt that it would have given him pause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebike Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Ultrasonic chasers do work. Not on all dogs in all situations but in using them for about six years I would say the success rate for me has been 80%. Purchase online in Thailand.

LoZth Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 A bamboo cane or a stick works just as well. If you need proof come and ask the pack down my soi! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like me, you probably dream of a device that activates when the neighbour's dog barks and sends it running and howling with blood coming from its ears.

CaptHaddock Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Ultrasonic repellent devices do not work on cats. Here's an abstract of a study on cat responses. In some cases, some cats did "flick" their ears. http://veterinaryrecord.bmj.com/content/147/24/678 My advice is buying an amulet is likely to protect you better.

kwonitoy Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I tried one back in Canada on my neighbors Basset hound which went crazy as soon as I stepped outside. Bought it at PetSmart for about 100 dollars and absolutely useless, they were kind enough to refund me They did tell me at the store they don't work very well Maybe they've gotten better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
