If you are someone who needs to deal with aggressive dogs on a regular basis, or you are concerned about dog attacks in your neighborhood, you’ll find that it is very important for you to be prepared. Take some time and really consider what your options are when it comes to protecting yourself or even protecting your children, and at the end of the day, you’ll soon see that there are definitely tools that can help you. Consider both the Super Dog Chaser ultrasonic dog repeller and Mace Muzzle as options to keeping yourself well guarded.

One of the first things that you should consider when you are looking to protect yourself from aggressive dogs is the use of an ultrasonic dog repeller. Essentially, this unit will create a frequency that is between 20,000 Hz to 25,000 Hz. This range is inaudible to humans, but can be heard by dogs or cats. This can be quite painful to them, and there is also a flashing LED light that will keep the animal confused. To use it, all you need to do is to point it at the dog in question. The sensation that is produced by the ultrasonic dog repeller is powerful enough to make the dog extremely uncomfortable.

When you want to maintain a safe distance between you and an unfriendly dog, the ultrasonic dog repeller is quite important. The combination of bright lights and painful sounds will make sure that the dog wants to come no where near you, and the LED lights, which will dull or go off if there is not enough battery power, will also work towards this effect.

On the other hand, what happens if the dog has become a lot closer than you like? This is where the use of dog repellent sprays like Mace Muzzle can be quite handy. This spray contains roughly 0.75 fluid ounces of pepper based solution, and because of this it can be quite painful, though not permanently damaging to the dog. The shape of the muzzle makes it difficult to use it on yourself.

When you are being menaced by an angry dog, you’ll find that all it takes is spraying the contents of the can into the dog’s eyes, nose and mouth. This will usually be enough to buy you the time to get away from the dog. The Mace Muzzle is released in a pyramid shaped cloud away from the nozzle to a distance of around ten feet; the closer the animal is to you, the more powerful the spray is. Do not spray into the wind and make sure that you use the bottle in an upright position.

Take some time to really consider what your options are going to be when it comes to protecting yourself from aggressive, possibly dangerous dogs. Both of the methods above are highly effective, very powerful measures and you should never use them a dog that you are friendly with. They are deterrents and if you genuinely feel as though your life or your body is in danger think about which one will serve you the best. This can make a great deal of difference when you want to protect yourself!

Hundreds of small children die or are seriously injured every year as a result of drowning or being injured in a residential or public pool. In 2008, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a report stating that the majority of pool and spa related injuries and deaths involved children between the ages of 1 and 2 years old. The report also revealed that drowning deaths involving children under the age of 5 had increased from an annual average of 267 to 283. Lastly, the report stated that drowning is the primary cause of accidental death for children between the ages of 1 and 4 years old. These sad statistics are proof that hundreds of children are dying or suffering serious injuries, despite the fact that both are highly preventable.

Many adults falsely believe that, as long as they are nearby, even if they are distracted, they will be alerted to a possible drowning emergency by a child’s screams or by the child flailing in the water. This simply is not true. Many serious and fatal pool accidents have occurred while adults are sitting poolside talking to one another or simply reading a book. When drowning occurs, children are submerged under water and unable to scream for help. Often, in cases of entrapment, children are held down by a powerful suction or a drain as one of their limbs, part of their bathing suit, or even their hair is stuck in the suction. When this happens, nearby adults may not immediately realize that the child is stuck and, in only a few short minutes, the child can die or suffer severe, irreversible brain damage as a result of oxygen deprivation. The CPSC reports that between 1999 and 2007, 74 cases of entrapment were reported and, of that number, 9 victims died and 63 were injured.

The federal government currently requires public pools and spas to have safety drain covers and some are even required to have anti-entrapment systems installed. Although the law is targeted specifically at public pools and spas, such as those found in apartment buildings or hotels, private residential owners are also encouraged to strive for the same safety standards.

Pool safety should always be approached with multiple layers of protection in mind. Therefore, if one malfunctions or fails, another layer of protection is in place to alert adults of a possible emergency. One such highly recommended safety measure is the Pool Protector. This self-contained, fully portable, electronic monitoring system sounds a piercing alarm, both from the unit and from a remote receiver installed in the home up to 200 feet away from the unit, whenever a child or a pet tumbles into a pool monitored by the system.

The affordable and easy to install Pool Protector can be put in sleep mode, but it is never deactivated. If ever someone inexperienced in putting it into sleep mode tries to remove the Pool Protector from the swimming pool or spa, the alarm is automatically triggered.

The Pool Protector uses a 9-volt battery that needs to be replaced, on average, every year and it comes with a 12-volt power supply. Should the battery ever run low, the Pool Protector also includes a low battery indicator that sounds an alert on the receiver, as well as on the actual unit.

Other possible layers of protection include pool owners regularly checking for missing or broken drain covers and not allowing children in pools or spas where either is the case. It’s also advisable to remove ladders when an above ground pool is not in use. When children are missing, always search a pool or spa first as every precious second counts. All adults should also be trained in CPR in case resuscitation is needed, and emergency rescue equipment should always be nearby a pool and all adults aware of its exact location.

Since most drowning accidents can be prevented, the goal of every responsible pool or spa owner must be to do just that. Even in homes without small children, owners should consider pool safety a priority as in many of the drowning deaths that have occurred a child was visiting the pool owner’s home. As pool and spa owners are always liable in cases of a pool accident, it is prudent for all to take steps to protect, not only their guests, but also their assets that can be severely jeopardized in the event of a drowning accident occurring on their property. The Pool Protector, along with sufficient drain, pool, and spa coverings can go a long way to prevent such accidents and could mean the difference between the life and death of a child.

I seemed to have opened a can of worms with my last post concerning the use of stun gun by or on some one with a pacemaker. I stress again that the current produced by a stun gun WILL NOT be passed between to people even by contact. Here are a few more links to some studies done on the subject. I hope they are helpful.
