DogFender

What makes DogFender effective as a dog attack prevention tool? DogFender is a completely new concept, and in truth, there is nothing like it on the market. But we know how when something new arrives, it's almost a natural tendency to try and place it against something familiar. In this instance, many think DogFender is an E-training-Collar, but this couldn't be further from the truth. DogFender is a canine defence collar that can ward off sudden aggressive canine encounters safely. The way our defence collar works is unique: Thanks to the subtle yet impactful static discharge strategically targeting an attacking dog's mouth, makes it effective. By focusing on the mouth as the most sensitive area of a dog's body, full of receptors, DogFender works upon activation of a defence mode (via the remote) and will only deliver the charge upon mouth-to-collar impact. Should a dog make mouth contact with the collar and receive the shock, this means it was going for a bite! DogFender provides a safe window of opportunity for owners to intervene when both dogs are separated. Discover more: www.dogfender.co.uk #DogSafety #DogBites #DogFender

Rising Canine Aggression is a Growing Concern! According to the Canine and Feline Behaviour Association (CFBA), incidents of dog-on-dog attacks are increasing. Sadly, our current laws often fail to protect our pets from such unpredictable encounters. Dog attacks are unpredictable by nature, but DogFender is here to help. As a dog attack prevention tool, DogFender provides a crucial last line of defence by protecting your dog's most vulnerable areas: the head, throat and neck. We wish there weren't a need for a product like DogFender, but the fact of the matter is, dog attacks happen more and more often, so why not take a stand for your furry friend today and become a part of our collective voice advocating for safer walks in both urban and rural spaces? #dogbites #dogsafety #dogfender www.dogfender.co.uk

As dog owners, we often prefer not to dwell on the dangers. We stroll our canines solo, and help isn't always a bark away. Ignorance is bliss, right? We get it; it's uncomfortable. Yet, it's a truth we can't ignore. All we need to do to realise the extent of the issue is run a quick Google search for "Dog attacks BBC news," and you'll find a growing list of 2024 incidents! Awareness is key! Associations like the CFBA understand this, and as much as we hate being the deliverer of bad news. We also believe that knowing this will help you stay safe. Being prepared could make a difference. Find out more about DogFender: www.dogfender.co.uk

🐾 Throwback to where DogFender began: Pottersbar Park, our local haven. Murphy, a Border Terrier, was the family's much-loved pet and best friend. We were enjoying our walk when Murphy was suddenly visiously attacked. A large dog caught Murphy by the throat and pinned him to the ground. I knew I had very little time to free Murphy from the clutches of the attacking dog's mouth. We believed Murphy's life was going to end that day most horrifically, and we'd have to live with the vivid memory for the rest of our lives. The thing about canine aggression episodes is that they can cause emotional distress to owners and trigger fear responses in dogs, potentially undoing years of training and good money spent. Sure, no one really wants to think about such stark realities, but when it lands on your porch, it can be hard to look the other way. These incidents cause distress and fear, impacting both owners and dogs. DogFender is a self-defence collar that emerged from extensive research to protect both you and your furry companion created after a nasty dog attack.

Think DogFender is a shock training collar? Think again! The primary function of a training collar is to deter or prevent behaviours that owners find undesirable. However, the discretion of owners varies greatly, leading to instances where dogs are punished with shock and discomfort for trivial reasons. This misuse led to the proposed ban on training collars in the UK. The continual exposure to shock or discomfort from these training collars can when misused, leave dogs confused, frustrated, and even prone to further undesirable behaviours or aggression, posing a risk to everyone. How is DogFender different? ✅In situations where lives are at stake, such as dog-on-dog attacks, DogFender poses as a potential lifesaver for both dogs and owners and can help prevent the aggressive dog from being euthanised. ✅Crucially, DogFender only administers a stimulus upon physical mouth contact from an aggressor, and activation requires deliberate action from the owner, making the misuse of shocks impossible. ✅The design of DogFender ensures that shocks are only delivered when necessary, making it the safest and most humane option for defending your dog's and family's safety. ✅With DogFender activated, your dog is protected if attacked, so you can safely distance yourself without intervening directly. ❌Without DogFender, intervening in an attack puts your family at risk of injury or, worse, escalating the situation. DogFender serves as a vital tool in ensuring the safety of both dogs and owners in threatening situations. What would you choose? Defence or no defence?

How My Beloved Murphy Inspired the DogFender Collar… New to DogFender? Allow me to share the intriguing story that sparked the creation of our innovative solution, one that is set to change the way we protect our furry friends and family. Back in 2018, I was out with my Murphy, enjoying a long walk in our local woods. Who doesn't love an outdoor canine adventure? It was all good, a beautiful sunny day when, out of nowhere, came a dog with a certain vibe! I couldn't have imagined what would come next, but then it all played out! Murphy, my beloved Border Terrier, fell victim to a vicious attack. A dog grabbed Murphy by the throat with only one intention: to inflict as much harm as possible, leaving us both traumatized and seriously injured. The aftermath haunted us. Murphy's physical and emotional scars lingered for the remainder of his life, eventually leading him to cross over the rainbow bridge last year. The guilt and what-ifs still weigh heavily on me to this day. I created DogFender so you can avoid the experience and the aftereffects of a brutal and sudden canine attack on the head, throat or neck areas, the most vulnerable parts of your dog's body. Don't wait for a similar incident to happen; protect your dog with DogFender. dogfender.co.uk Video Credit: Leslie Coelho #Dogsafery #dogbites #dogfender

Sometimes, you meet people in life who understand you completely... I was lucky to meet Anke Herrmann - Taming the Tech Monster of Soul Touched by Dogs. We connected over her own traumatic canine aggression experience and chatted about it during a podcast episode that you can tune into via the links in our bio. In the episode, I talk about our innovative product. DogFender is a collar that defends dogs from attacks by creating a static barrier and releasing a stimulant into the aggressor's mouth if there is any contact. I shared how my own dog's traumatic experience led to the creation of the collar and how it has brought peace of mind to dog owners. We look at how DogFender works, the importance of responsible dog ownership, and how it doesn't just protect a dog from getting attacked; it also protects the other dog from causing harm and getting wrongfully euthanized. Huge thanks, Anke, for giving us the airtime. Find out more about DogFender at www.dogfender.co.uk Catch the podcast episode here: https://bit.ly/3VdYs8Y #caninesafety #doglovers #dogfender

Ready for the ultimate canine defence? Your wait is pretty much over, but while we are here, allow us to reintroduce you to why DogFender was even created and brought to market. DogFender is a world first canine defence system intended to keep our pets and owners safe. Back in 2018, I was out walking my beloved Border Terrier, Murphy. All I recall is how time stood still when a dog had Murphy's head locked by the grip of its mouth! ❌Yes, it was horrendous. ❌Yes, Murphy was rushed to the vets. ❌Yes, I was also attacked and ended up in the hospital. ❌Yes, I thought Murphy could die! ❌It was due to the complications of my little Murph's injuries that contributed to his passing away in 2023. ☹ At that time, I couldn't fathom how there was nothing really easy to use available on the market that could defend our precious pets! As a former kickboxing instructor, self-defence wasn't far from my mind, and that's when I decided to do something about it as I still can't quite believe we'd rather euthanize the attacking dog or allow untrained dogs to terrorize our obedient pets vs safe self-defending? No more! ✔️DogFender is a complete system that provides your dog with: ✔️Defence – remote control activated up to 40 meters at the push of a button. ✔️In-built night lights, also remote activated, giving you up to 30 hours of use. ✔️Comfortable design on the collar itself, breathable and will not cause discomfort ✔️Waterproof So, what are you waiting for?

The emotional side of Dog attacks and dog bites. As someone who has been there, there are a few things that jump to mind about the emotional side of canine aggression. Initially, after the incident, it's all about health and wellness - how badly injured is my dog? Will they survive? Then your mind gravitates to yourself, hold on - I'm also bitten, and so we go through the motions. All these thoughts take centre stage in ways, but the unravelling occurs over the next few days after such incidents. Like healing in general, it's only after weeks, or sometimes months for some, that we start processing what actually happened. Once the shock wears off, you might notice changes in yourself, like not feeling confident when taking your furry pal outside. You might even blame yourself, or your sense of well-being takes a nosedive. You might be physically injured, making it hard to continue as you did before. All of this can lead to resentment or frustration. So many share their fears with us after their dog has been in an incident with all types of breeds. There is a sense of fear from the nastiness they have experienced. We know DogFender is not a solution for everything, but if you can give yourself some kind of defence to avoid the above, is it not worth it? Discover more about DogFender, and should you have any questions, please DM or send an email to [email protected]. We would love to learn more about how we may assist you.

What Are Electric Shock Collars? Electric shock collars are devices used as a training method to control behaviour or punish a dog for undesirable behaviour. The device delivers an electric or static shock to a dog's neck while it is wearing the collar. This is activated via a remote control or an automatic trigger. 👉How do training collars work? The collar's two prongs penetrate through to the dog's skin and serve as the conduits for administering the electric shock to the dog wearing the collar. 👉DogFender's View: The debate surrounding this matter has been highly charged, resulting in a ten-year delay in implementing the ban. Our perspective is that the crux of the issue does not revolve around the training collars themselves but rather hinges on dog owners' responsibility. Much like humans, dogs display a wide range of behaviours, varying from positive to negative, which adds complexity to the situation. Training and behavioural correction collars can have merit when employed correctly by compassionate and accountable owners, especially since not all dogs can be easily trained. In cases where training isn't feasible, euthanasia is often the only alternative, a course of action we do not endorse. While we endorse the ban due to the misuse of training collars, we also acknowledge the failures of major organizations in addressing this issue, often overlooking the safety of responsible owners and their dogs. Why is DogFender Not Banned? What Sets it Apart From Training Collars? The legislation explicitly prohibits the use of E collars, which administer electric shocks to dogs wearing them. These training collars can deliver electric shocks for up to 11 seconds from a distance of two miles. Whereas DogFender is not classified as a training collar, and it has never been marketed as having any training capabilities. It is solely a Defence System designed to protect dogs and their owners from sudden attacks by other dogs or animals. The range of our D
