Michael Rhoades of Hilaleah, Florida, is trying to make sense of what happened to his dog Barney. According to Local News 10, who reported the story, the man came out of his house on Saturday to find his Malinois in extreme discomfort and a postal worker standing nearby. “I come out and I say, ‘Hey, did you just mace my dog?’ because he was writhing in pain on the ground,” Rhoades told the news station. “And she’s like, ‘Yes, I did.'” |

If a dog is acting in a threatening manner within Halt spraying range of a postal worker, that's what happens.
Forget about it, the discomfort will go away in a half hour or less, and be thankful there was no cop on hand to shoot your dog.
My neighbor's dogs used to chase the neighborhood kids on their bikes. When I witnessed it, I grabbed my bike and a can of Halt, and sure enough they went after me. One took a light spritzing and ran off. The other one didn't back off until I held the can in her face and blasted her right in the eyes.
When I turned around at the corner and came back, dog #1 looked normal, but he had lost all interest in messing with me. Dog #2 was furiously rubbing her face in the grass. The owner never noticed that anything had happened to the dogs. Unfortunately, they only learned to leave me alone and still went after the kids. |
