Provides a Humane Dog-Training Solution that is Safe to Use Around Children, Pets, and Plants *when used as directed.
This granular dog deterrent is specially formulated to prevent dogs from digging, defecating, and rummaging in yards, flower beds, rock beds, mulch, flowerpots, lawns, landscaped areas, gardens, shrubs, bushes, trees, patios, fences, building foundations, trash areas, and other designated spaces. It works best when applied directly to specific areas needing protection from dog-related damage.
Dog MACE granular dog repellent effectively trains and repels both stray and domestic dogs. It is specifically formulated to deter unwanted dog behaviors such as marking, chewing, digging, and rummaging in outdoor areas. The dog repellent contains a unique scent that is pleasant and tolerable to humans but naturally irritating to dogs. This scent helps discourage dogs from digging in flower beds, uprooting plants, marking territory, or causing damage to your landscaping. This anti-digging dog deterrent creates a protective zone in and around the treated areas. With consistent use, dogs learn to avoid these protected areas. Since dogs are naturally territorial and display varied behaviors depending on their breed, some may dig or mark areas more aggressively. Dog urine, used by dogs to mark territory, can damage plants and leave unsightly brown patches in your yard. With Dog MACE, you can effectively avoid potential conflicts with neighbors and lasting yard damage without resorting to traps, fences, or involving animal control services. Regain control and resolve your dog-related issues quickly! This rain-resistant, granular deterrent provides lasting, all-season protection against dogs. Easy for anyone to apply, it offers a humane yet powerful solution to keep unwanted dogs out. Try Dog MACE today risk-free with Natures MACE 100% Money Back Guarantee. Nature’s MACE products are environmentally friendly and made from earth-safe ingredients.
Begin by applying Dog MACE generously and evenly in and around areas you wish to protect. Its essential to make the first application thorough, particularly in identified trouble spots. Apply as soon as you notice dog activity. For best results, consistently reapply every 1 to 7 days to effectively train dogs to avoid these areas. Target key areas frequently visited by dogs and maintain consistent applications to these spots. Regular, focused application significantly improves the products effectiveness. Continue reapplying as needed until dogs are trained to avoid treated areas. Once dogs have learned to stay away, you may gradually reduce the application frequency. Dog MACE may be more effective when combined with other dog-training methods. Results can vary depending on dogs habits and the frequency of their visits. For particularly persistent dogs, heavier applications in specific problem areas may be required to effectively discourage unwanted behaviors. Always reapply after rainfall to maintain effectiveness. For Plants and Flowerbeds: Dog MACE can be applied directly onto outdoor plants and flowerbeds. If urine is present, remove and replace the affected soil, as lingering urine can attract dogs. Alternatively, thoroughly water the area to dilute any remaining urine, ensuring adequate drainage afterward. Clean pots and surrounding areas thoroughly. Additionally, consider placing chicken wire or fencing over the soil to prevent dogs from digging up plants.

I’ve xeriscaped my front yard with some native plants and wood chips. Cats – neighbors & feral started using my yard as their cat box. Cats MACE has gently discouraged them from pooing in my yard. P
So far so good! I’ve actually applied two heavy dustings on my front lawn to deter the lazy owner who lets their dog off leash to use our grass as a bathroom and doesn’t even pick it up! So I’ve used this twice now and it’s working wonders. I can see the dog sniff and immediately turn away on our camera. Thank you for making this product! To me it’s totally worth the money.
We are so glad you are pleased and seeing positie results with the Dog MACE. A
