let's talk about how to repel dogs and so there are some situations with with a house or a neighborhood where there are some dogs that come through or get into you know the yard the gardens trash all those sorts of things and so trying to repel nuisance dogs can be you know a wanted thing obviously the first thing to think about with repelling dogs is never put yourself at risk rabies does exist in the canine world and so if you're putting yourself you know at risk of a sore around a stray dog and trying to yell at it or get rid of it if it has rabies or something like that that can be risky so just never put yourself in danger dogs can bite obviously so secondly if it's a straight situation there are sprays and commercial types of products that may contain ammonia and things like that that you can spray around the yard that dogs would come in and sniff and they have a very powerful sense of smell obviously and that could sometimes repel them they don't always work very well but that's also an idea thirdly if there is a dog that is coming near you a garden hose actually can work pretty well as well by squirting them with water that you generally don't like that and and that can repel them quite often also if there is a sick animal or an injured animal you know calling Animal Control or the local humane societies to see what they can do to help you is going to be a step there most states and most cities are going to have leash laws and so there there are dogs that are coming through or you're trying to repel then chances are they're technically strays and so getting them off the streets is better for them health-wise and preventing them from harming anybody but again just be on the safe side don't put yourself at risk and you can you know use deterrents fencing works very well obviously they don't also make some sound some ultrasonic sound wave producers that you can put in the yard that sometimes might help repel these guys as well at the very least you can check with your veterinary clinic and they can help you through that as well
