How do you explain the widespread use of Halt if it isn't effective. The market usually weeds out products that don't perform as advertised, and Halt has been around for decades.
The object is to deter an aggressive dog, not disable it. Its better than a squirt of water, but less blinding than Fox Law Enforcement Formula (2% capsicum).
