10 Practical Ways to Use the DAZER II Dog Deterrent Safely and Effectively
10 Practical Ways to Use the DAZER II Dog Deterrent Safely and Effectively
The DAZER II has been helping dog owners, walkers, postal workers, delivery drivers, runners, cyclists, and animal professionals manage unwanted dog behaviour for decades.
Using a directional ultrasonic sound that is audible to most dogs but not to humans, the DAZER II is designed to interrupt unwanted behaviour and help create a safer, calmer situation.
While every dog responds differently, many users report positive results when using the device consistently and appropriately.
Here are some of the most common ways the DAZER II is used.
1. Discouraging Approaching Dogs While Walking
One of the most popular uses for the DAZER II is during daily walks.
If an unfamiliar dog approaches in an unwanted or intimidating manner, the DAZER II can be activated to interrupt the dog's focus and encourage it to stop or change direction.
This can provide additional peace of mind for:
Dog walkers
Joggers
Cyclists
Hikers
Families with young children
Important: The DAZER II is not a substitute for situational awareness or personal safety precautions.
2. Managing Excessive Barking
Many owners use the DAZER II to interrupt nuisance barking.
Common triggers include:
Passing pedestrians
Delivery drivers
Other dogs
Visitors arriving at the property
Attention-seeking behaviour
The device works best when combined with training and positive reinforcement.
3. Supporting Dog Training
The DAZER II can be used as a training aid to redirect a dog's attention during unwanted behaviours.
Examples include:
Jumping on guests
Chasing behaviour
Fence running
Persistent barking
Ignoring commands
The goal is not punishment but interruption, allowing the handler to redirect the dog toward a more desirable behaviour.
4. Helping Delivery Drivers and Field Workers
People who regularly enter residential properties often encounter unfamiliar dogs.
DAZER II users commonly include:
Couriers
Postal workers
Utility workers
Meter readers
Real estate professionals

5. Creating Safer Encounters for Runners and Cyclists
Fast-moving people can sometimes trigger chasing instincts in dogs.
Many runners and cyclists carry a DAZER II as part of their personal safety equipment when travelling through areas where loose dogs may be encountered.
6. Assisting with Fence-Line Behaviour
Dogs often become highly reactive when they see animals, people, or vehicles passing by.
The DAZER II may help interrupt:
Fence barking
Territorial reactions
Lunging behaviour
Repetitive excitement responses
Consistent training remains important for long-term behaviour change.
7. Helping During Camping and Outdoor Activities
Campgrounds, parks, and walking trails often involve interactions with unfamiliar dogs.
Many outdoor enthusiasts carry a DAZER II because it is:
Lightweight
Battery-powered
Portable
Easy to operate
This makes it suitable for hiking, camping, and recreational activities.
8. Supporting Animal Professionals
Professionals working around dogs may use the DAZER II as part of their behavioural management toolkit.
Users may include:
Dog trainers
Kennel operators
Animal rescue volunteers
Veterinary support staff
Dog daycare personnel
Different dogs respond differently, so professional judgement is always required.
