Does it not stun humans... only dogs?

I have not had to use it. I bought it with purpose of having to use it if I was attacked by a human. I saw it at a trade show and the vendor stated it can be used as a line of protection from any attackers.

Uhm, no, the brand is Guard Dog. It has nothing to do with dogs itself... it's just a small stun gun.

This is not just for dogs. Guard Dog is just the name brand. This can stun humans as well. it as nice and handy and fits perfect in my purse. However do not expect it to shoot out a stun you would have to physical touch the person with it. I also like the blinding light guarantee you will be seeing spots if this is shined in your eyes.

Michelle....my good dogs show absolutely no reaction to this apparatus. Neither do the yappy dogs next door. I have yet to find a dog that even reacts to it at all. Keep your money or buy some ear plugs....j

Not to humans. It doesn't smell at all after a few minutes, but the dogs do not like the smell or the taste. It worked very well with my puppies.

Yes, but only use the vibrate mode. It will startle but not hurt. Give the command you want, then if no response push only once. The startle will go with the unwanted action. We tried both modes on ourselves.So we would know what our dog would feel. The shock was way to much. But the vibrate was fine. I wish there was a intensity level adjustment. Remember to check the batteries in both the collar and remote. We have a small dog who thinks he needs to bark all the time and usually at nothing. Now all we say is" quiet or do you need your collar on" and he's quiet. He no longer wears his collar all the time, and it only took about 20- 30 mins. for him to learn. Use the vibrate.

The collar has 3 levels of intensity plus the audio only. I have heard some say that large dogs aren't effected by the shock but I would guess they don't have the collar tight enough. One of our dogs will respond to the audio only and the other at the lowest setting.

Nope it doesn't, quite a pleasant or neutral smell for us humans & that only the dog will be able to sense it.

In general this device works on some dogs and not others. If you were to test it at a dog park, for instance, you would instantly see at least 50% of the dogs react. Some dogs do not seem to react to this at all. I would imagine that dogs bred to hunt would be slightly less reactive as they are not supposed to react to loud noises as part of their breeding (i.e. they are gun dogs). If you have a dog that does have an issue with loud noises, this unit should work on them. As I said in my review. This is either a miracle or nada. But at $8 just try it and if it doesn't work for you give it to a friend. The risk here is extremely minimal. In general this device works on some dogs and not others.

Yes I think it will, Work well on my pet (gizmo) and never had to shock him. Just having it on him worked.

It should. The wire is buried and a warning beep when they get close to it. If they ignore the warning and get cloer to the wire it gives a shock until they back off from the wire. It has different settings for the shock strength. We have a medium size dog and it is on the lowest setting. Before we knew what to set it on she got close enough to be zapped and she yelped...so it must have been pretty strong as she NEVER does that.We lowered it immediately! It DID leave a lasting impression on her though. Hope this was of some help.

This Stun Gun is awesome and will not only break up a dog fight, it would break up the most aggressive and bigger dogs fights. I used it to stop a dog while on a run and trust me...He was doing the running after!

Yes. This has a setting that goes from low to high. We used it on our 126 lb dog, and used the highest shock. However, he got used to it(he is oversized and they said that could happen). I think definitely worth it. If you don't want to spend the money, then I would get a coffee can, and put loose change in there. Everytime the dog barks you shake it and it terrifies them. They learn to stop.

It makes some noise but not loud compared to others I have tried. I use it on three different dogs and the noise doesn't scare them.

No. But if you are relatively closed you can hear it vibrate and if you use shock you'll see the dog react to it.

it only took a couple of shocks for one of my dogs. the other stubborn one took about 5 total. They soon learn the beep is their warning.

I do not know, I returned it as it does not know if your dog is barking or screaming in pain from the shock so it keeps on shocking, so the dog keeps on screaming , so I had to take it off the dog STAT!!! DID NOT WORK FOR MY DOG......

no, there is an option to shock without sound, or make it beep without shocking the dog... but there is no vibration, though i have actually tested this on myself and the really low levels would barely be felt and might be just enough to get their attention without actually causing discomfort...

They will be warned with a beep before the shock, it will shock them a couple times but will shut off after a certain amount of time. The shock strength is contrilled by the owner, it has 10 levels. I started at 4 with my golden doodle and it's current setting is 8 because he had becided the shock was worth it on the lower settings, he has not crossed the line since raising the strength.
