Nature's MACE Dog Mace Dog Repellent 6 lb Granules

Maybe I got a bad batch. I have used Natures Mace for several weeks now. I have reapplied to my lawn several times over that period. The dogs seem to have developed a tolerance and continue to do their business almost daily. I am very disappointed and dissatisfied with the performance of this product

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.

No idea how well this stuff works or if it works. It is packaged in a way that makes it difficult to spread over the lawn evenly, so I used the entire bag in one application, which is pricy for what it covers. Whether it deterred the neighbors' dogs from treating my lawn as a doggy toilet, I have no idea, but several weeks later, there were definite signs that the yard was once again being used as such. So, if this stuffs works, it doesn't work for long. It is not worth the price, and I would not purchase it again.

Didn't work! I have neighborhood dogs that keep coming on my porch and peeing on my bbq grill. Put the Dog Mace down, they still keep coming on my porch. It didn't stop them one bit. REVISED The seller recached out to me and went above my exceptions to make this right. It is not common today to find a company with great customer service.

Although I can smell this and it makes my eyes water, my dog licked the dust off my shoe, and I continue to see dog poo in my parkway.

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.

Spread all over my front lawn. Right after had owners walking their do still allowing their dog to use my lawn as a bathroom does not repel. Waited until next day, still does not repel dogs. This it is like catnip, the dogs love it...! Do not recommend spending your money on a product that does not really work as advertised.. Retuned to Amazon..

This stuff didn’t deter our neighbor’s dog even slightly. I put it down fairly heavy 8-9 days in a row and the dog still takes it’s daily morning constitutional in our side mulch area. Dog Mace doesn’t seem to get the dog’s attention at all. $40 down the drain or, more aptly, thrown to the wind. It’s easy enough to put it down but, if you do try it, I would recommend using a dust mask. Stuff kind of stinks and sort of gets stuck in your throat. Ruins your sense of taste for a while. IDK, I won’t say it definitely won’t work in your specific case but it didn’t work for us at all.

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
