Even though it's highly effective against mild to moderately aggressive dogs, it may not be enough for powerful animals. Physical restraint is the best way to handle such dangerous animals.

The supervisor will then call the customer and request the confinement of the animal. The customer will then be informed by the Postmaster to stop mail from being delivered until the animal is contained. If employees are hurt while spraying the repellent, Direct Stop spray is not recommended. Inadvertent spraying by employees can result in them being fired or subject to appropriate corrective actions.
The dog may find it less painful to use an airhorn or another method. However, this can make the procedure less effective.

The spray is lightweight and easy to use. This spray can be used if your dog is aggressive.
