"One Akita, two Rotts attacked. The Bite Terminator System deployed and 2 dogs u-turned and the other did a backflip." - Meter Reader, FPL
The Bite Terminator® Dog Barrier works because the equipment works on the startle instinct of the animal.
All animals and humans have a defense reflex called the startle reflex. If something surprises an animal or human, their immediate reaction is to stop and back up. In dogs this response can range from immediately turning around and running away, to stopping and holding their ground. In most cases they make a hasty retreat.
With the combination of the unique effects that the Bite Terminator® Dog Barrier presents, the dogs either retreat or back away. This buys you precious time to get out of the situation. In the rare case that the dog attacks, the Bite Terminator® Dog Barrier takes the bite for you. If the dog is biting the Terminator, he can not bite you. This again is buying you precious time to escape.
Let's look at this from the dog’s perspective. When the Bite Terminator® Dog Barrier is deployed correctly within 6 to 8 feet away the dog experiences the following:
- Something jumps out at him. (telescoping feature)
- Something blows out in his face (opening of the barrier to full diameter)
- His vision of you is now totally blocked (black material blocking his vision)
- He hears a weird noise. (sound of opening action)
- He may feel a sudden swoosh of air (air generated from high speed opening)
- Senses instantly activated (sight, hearing, touch and smell)
His immediate reaction - BACK UP!
A Bite Terminator® is replaceable - you are not.
