Works mostly by surprising dogs so that they break stride. Scares smaller dogs and works great to clear squirells.

I put the bottles under the top tube.
On the black bike you can see the white button on the lower handlebar...when I'm on the hoods (most of the time) it is under my left pinkie.
The black bike has the newer metal cannister which works well in the winter. The other two bikes have the older (but lighter) plastic bottle.
