Yes, DogFender is extremely safe. It’s passed all its legal requirements.
No, definitely not. Why ? The DogFender collar is designed to give the static discharge outwards.
It’s delivered through the 44 contact studs spread over the length of the collar. Only when direct mouth contact is made with 2 or more contact studs a static discharge would be delivered directly and only into the aggressor’s mouth.
No. DogFender’s static charge is less than the static shock you can receive when touching a car door handle.
DogFender’s static discharge, although low in power, is delivered directly into the mouth of an attacking dog and has a potent effect. The mouth is the most sensitive part of any anatomy packed with receptors. These receptors have an extremely low tolerance to any changes, sending an unpleasant sensation straight to the brain. The brain would send signals to retreat immediately, regardless of how large, powerful, or aggressive the attacking dog is.
This is when owners can take advantage of a safe window to grab their dogs when both dogs have been separated.
The DogFender collar has been designed to be left on at all times, as you would with a normal dog collar.
There are no manual buttons on the DogFender collar.
As a safety feature, you can only turn the collar on by using the remote control (smart key) in a swiping motion.

100s of local dog walkers, owners, and the dog-loving community in the vicinity of London, St Albans, and Hertfordshire to put DogFender to the test.
When speaking to these owners, a commonality was their desire for a product like DogFender to help them feel safer and less vulnerable when out and about due to observing increased levels of canine aggression.
Safety has always been the biggest driver with DogFender. All of our testers have relayed only positive feedback and still actively use their collars today, improving their outdoor canine experiences.
According to UK law, dogs are classed as property.
Should your property get attacked, you have a legal right to defend yourself and your property using reasonable force.
"Dog-on-dog attacks are rising – a concern", highlighted by CFBA. (Canine and Feline Behaviour Association).
As someone who experienced a sudden canine attack, I can't ignore the issue and am always with an eye open following such canine news. 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.
DogFender is fully compliant with UKCA, CE, FCC, IECE, RoHS, and SA/NZS 3820 standards.
No, firstly, the DogFender collar can only deliver a static discharge outward. Secondly, a dog's fur acts as a perfect electrical barrier.
The water sensors are continuously monitoring your dog’s fur moisture levels.
Once the owner activates defence mode using the remote control, the discharge is delivered through studs on the collar, activated by mouth contact made by the attacking dog.
No, the static discharge is milder than the static shock, touching a car door handle.
DogFender targets the most sensitive area, the mouth of the attacking dog, stopping the attack, separating both dogs instantly allowing all concerned to regain control safely.
DogFender is child proof, designed to be worn in every environment.
Hundreds of professional dog walkers and owners have tested DogFender, over a seven-year period, providing feedback and still continue to use it today.
Yes, dogs are considered property, and therefore you have the legal right to defend your property using reasonable action.
Yes, dog-on-dog attacks are increasing, as noted by the Canine and Feline Behaviour Association (CFBA).
Yes, while DogFender keeps your dog safe, it also prevents owners from having to intervene, reducing the risk of human injury and potentially saving the attacking dog from wrongful euthanasia.
