Product Details

Dog MACE granular dog repellent effectively trains and repels both stray and domestic dogs. It is specifically formulated to deter unwanted dog behaviors such as marking, chewing, digging, and rummaging in outdoor spaces. The dog repellent contains a unique scent that is tolerable to humans but naturally irritating to dogs. This scent helps discourage dogs from digging in flower beds, uprooting plants, marking territory, or causing damage to your landscaping.

This anti-digging dog deterrent creates a protective zone in and around the treated areas. With consistent use, dogs learn to avoid these protected areas. Since dogs are naturally territorial and display varied behaviors depending on their breed, some may dig or mark areas more aggressively. Dog urine, used by dogs to mark territory, can damage plants and leave unsightly brown patches in your yard. With Dog MACE, you can avoid potential conflicts with neighbors and lasting yard damage without resorting to traps, fences, or involving animal control services. Regain control and resolve your dog-related issues. This rain-resistant, granular dog deterrent provides lasting, all-season protection against dogs. Easy for anyone to apply, it offers a humane yet powerful solution to keep unwanted dogs out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't see the answer to your question? contact us!

  • The effectiveness of Dog MACE varies. Since it's primarily a training aid, achieving desired results may take some time and multiple applications. Although it can repel dogs immediately upon application, you should not expect complete results from only one or two uses. Consistent and proper application following the provided directions is crucial. Every dog and situation differ, so repeated and strategic use is recommended until your dog learns to avoid the treated areas or stops exhibiting unwanted behaviors.

  • Dogs are naturally territorial and curious about new scents introduced into their environment. The strong smell of Dog MACE triggers their instinctive behavior to investigate. Licking helps dogs understand unfamiliar scents; while rolling on treated areas allows them to mark the space with their scent, attempting to override the repellent.

    To discourage this behavior, apply Dog MACE when your dog is less active in those areas. Regularly reapply, especially after rain, to maintain the product's effectiveness. With consistent use, your dog will gradually learn to stay away from treated areas.

  • Yes, generally speaking, Dog MACE is safe. It is made with plant-based ingredients and is harmless to pets, plants, wildlife, and your family when used as directed. However, consuming even small amounts might cause stomach discomfort. If ingestion occurs, monitor your pet closely and consult a veterinarian if necessary. Always read and follow label precautions before use.

  • Yes. Dog MACE is safe for use around your plants, grass, and garden when used as directed. The granular formula consists of plant-based ingredients that naturally break down over time, leaving no harmful residues or lasting negative effects on your landscape. Its design effectively repels dogs without compromising plant health.

  • Yes. Dog MACE can help deter digging behavior. However, digging can be a challenging habit to overcome because dogs dig for various reasons, including boredom, anxiety, attempts to escape, or curiosity about underground animals like moles. Identifying why your dog digs is crucial in effectively addressing the behavior. Apply Dog MACE to areas your dog frequently digs and supplement it with alternative strategies such as providing toys, increasing activity, creating physical barriers, or other methods to redirect your dog's attention.

Nature's MACE product being used outdoors

How to Use

Begin by applying Dog MACE generously and evenly in and around areas you wish to protect. It's essential to make the first application thorough, particularly in identified trouble spots. Apply as soon as you notice dog activity. For best results, consistently reapply every 1 to 7 days to effectively train dogs to avoid these areas. Target key areas frequently visited by dogs and maintain consistent applications to these spots. Regular, focused application significantly improves the product's effectiveness. Continue reapplying as needed until dogs are trained to avoid treated areas. Once dogs have learned to stay away, you may gradually reduce the application frequency. Dog MACE may be more effective when combined with other dog-training methods. Results can vary depending on dogs' habits and the frequency of their visits. For particularly persistent dogs, heavier applications in specific problem areas may be required to effectively discourage unwanted behaviors. Always reapply after rainfall to maintain effectiveness.

For Plants and Flowerbeds: Dog MACE can be applied directly onto outdoor plants and flowerbeds. If urine is present, remove and replace the affected soil, as lingering urine can attract dogs. Alternatively, thoroughly water the area to dilute any remaining urine, ensuring adequate drainage afterward. Clean pots and surrounding areas thoroughly. Additionally, consider placing chicken wire or fencing over the soil to prevent dogs from digging up plants.

Granular repellent showing mixed results. Some customers report success: "dogs have stopped pooping in my yard" and "dogs will run towards my lawn then quickly back away." However, many found it ineffective, with dogs walking through, licking, or rolling in it. Strong odor noted. Requires frequent reapplication (weekly) and loses effectiveness after rain. Works best with consistent use.

  • This stuff really works! A little goes a long way. Dogs have stopped pooping in my yard.
  • Dogs will run towards my lawn then quickly back away. It works and I'm very pleased!
  • I can see the dog sniff and immediately turn away on our camera. Worth the money.

Nature’s Dog Mace

I started using nature’s dog mace a few days ago and noticed the neighbors dog will run towards my lawn and then quickly back away and turn its head. It doesn’t come near the edge of my lawn as it use to since I have started using Nature’s Dog Mace.
It works and I’m very pleased!
Thank you for great product and I will be repurchasing, Annemarie C.

Not sure about this yet…

So I sprinkled a ton of the dog mace granules all around and in my tiny corner of a front garden where all the neighborhood dog walkers do nothing to stop their dogs from peeing on. First dog I caught on camera after doing so, started to lick the granules up …. But then his owner noticed THAT & pulled him away from my tiny corner garden. I had NOT seen the dog owner do THAT before on camera!!! … So I’m not sure if the dog woulda peed had the owner not intervened like that.

It works, but...

Neighborhood dogs will evade area for just 2 days. Although applied against wind direction, the dust got on my mouth and nose giving a bitter taste.

Hi Marite,
Thanks for giving the Dog MACE a try. We are glad to hear that you had semi positive results. You may want to try the liquid instead so there won't be any issue with the dust. Reach out to customer care and we would love to send you a sample to try!

Bough both the spray and the granular

Bought both the spray and the granular. I have 3 dogs, boxer(9 yr) Black Lab (3yr) and Basset Hound (7yr). Tried both products and it stopped none of my dogs. Sprayed in a puddle and watched dogs smell it and not be bothered. Hoping everyone has better luck.

Hi! Thanks for your review. We are sorry you are displeased with the results. Please keep in mind the Dog MACE is not instant action and does take a few days of reapplication to start showing positive results. We recommend daily application for ten days and then weekly thereafter.

It didn’t work. My dogs dug Ed up two holes. Best is my internet wires were duged up. Idiots put wires in my dogs fenced in area. Why the h did they do this. Fence was there before internet. I have been out waiting for repair. Can’t work from home

Hi Patricia,
Thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear about the digging and damaged wires. Digging is a hard habit to break. We are glad to review this with you and either offer a refund or more product with application tips to help you see better results.

Not strong enough

Smell not strong enough for dogs. Saw a dog rolling around in it. Does not last through the nite. Have to keep applying it which is a pain in the neck and costly. Strong smell to humans but doesn’t deter dogs. They keep coming back to the same spot.

Thank you for your feedback. Please keep in mind Dog MACE is not instant action and is designed to be used a training aid. We recommend daily applications for 7-10 days and then weekly thereafter. After the first week, the scent barrier is usually strong enough to start detering the Dogs and showing a difference in their behavior.

Dog mace granular repellent and training tool

Didn’t bother my dog at all. If fact she rolled in it when she noticed it. And my neighbors dog who is the true issue doesn’t seem bothered by it at all. :-(

Hi David, Thanks for your review. Please keep in mind the Dog MACE is not instant action and dogs rolling in it when its first applied is normal; the dogs are trying to figure out the scent and cover it with their own. We recommend daily applications for ten days and then once a week thereafter. If you need more MACE in order to see the best results possible, reach out to customer care. We are here to help.

Not a repellent but a training tool

This didn’t repel dogs, but actually drew them in. It’s an obvious training tool and not a repellent, so don’t expect it to be that not happy with the results, but I guess I have to live with it.

Hi Edward, Thank for your review. The Dog MACE is not instant action and is intended to be used as a training aid and repellent. Please let me know how you have applied it. I would love to provide some addtional tips to help get better results.
