Nature’s Mace 6 Pound Dog Repellent Granules, Dog Repellent for Yard, Keep Dogs Off Lawn, Garden, Mulch, Pet Safe Granular

After I purchaced my 1st 6lbs bag of Dogmace and applyng to the rocks around the fondation, within a day my dogs peeped and pooped in them. I noticed the directions said it may take more than 1 applacation. I purchased a second 6lbs bag and and applied about 4lbs on the rocks under my patio cover. the next day I took this picture of just 1 of 3 piles, you can see how much of the Dogmace is covering the rocks. After buying 2 bags for amost $80 and still have to put a glove on pick the poop out of the rocks. I tried to return to Amazon but I was unable to. Very dissapponted with this product and Amazon.

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.

30 min after application in a 15'x 20' area, a large dog took a dump right in the middle of it. I did not notice any concern from the dog that the area was treated.

It doesn't keep dogs out of flower beds like advertised. Complete instructions were followed.

Man, does this stuff have a powerful smell! As far as I can tell, it's been pretty effective at keeping our dog away from our plants and lawn. Application is very easy. However it is best to apply it on the intended areas of your garden when it is not windy.

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.

Doesn’t work. Poured it several places where my dog dug. He walks right on it and laid down. If your in rainy area then too expensive since you have to reapply after every rain.

This was a clear waste of money. I bought this on the honor of the product details, and all I can say is whoever made this product must not have dogs. I have 3 dogs and of the 3, the 2 that dig thought this was my idea of where to dig. I put this down in the areas where the were digging and within the hr I had holes in my yard big enough to park my lawnmower in, and that was just with 1 application. So if anyone is looking for a free bag, I have one I will send you.
