As ridiculous as it sounds, I've successfully used it now 3 times, and the person who gave me the tip said it's yet to fail in 20 uses for him. I bought a $4 can at Walmart (in the computer section) and I carry it in one of my bottle holders.
The only thing that I can think of that makes this effective is that the sound TO THE DOG must be very different from what we hear.
Spraying water from your bottle works too. It also fits perfectly in a water bottle cage.
