DogFender is a patented precautionary defence system designed to help protect your dog in the event of an attack from another dog.
Unlike a training collar, DogFender is not designed to train, punish or control the dog wearing it. It is carried as a precaution and activated remotely by the owner when protection is needed.
DogFender provides targeted protection around one of the most vulnerable areas during a dog attack – the neck and throat.
The owner carries the remote control and, if another dog attacks or presents a serious threat, can activate one of three defence levels.
Once activated, the system is ready to respond. If the attacking dog's mouth makes contact with the protective studs positioned around the collar, a brief static discharge is directed towards the attacking dog's mouth.
The sudden sensation is designed to interrupt the attack, giving the owner an opportunity to regain control and safely separate the dogs.
Your dog wears the protection. Your dog does not receive the discharge.
Dog attacks can happen suddenly and within seconds. Attempting to physically separate fighting dogs can put owners at serious risk of bites and injury.
DogFender provides another option – allowing the owner to activate the defence system remotely rather than immediately putting their hands or body between two fighting dogs.
Think of DogFender like carrying a first-aid kit or wearing a seat belt: you hope you never need it, but you have it there just in case.
No bite. No contact. No discharge.
DogFender is not intended to replace responsible dog handling or avoidable conflict prevention. It is a precautionary defence system designed to provide an additional layer of protection should a serious dog-on-dog attack occur.
Interrupt the attack. Separate the dogs. Regain control.
