Tree Repellent for Dogs

People love their dogs, but are often upset by behaviors they may exhibit. Trees can be damaged by dogs eating the bark, scratching or even urinating on the tree. There are several repellents that can help prevent these damaging behaviors.

  1. Types

    • Products available on the market include sprays, powders and other liquids.

    How They Work

    • Many of the products on the market work by using a smell that dogs find offensive. Some even overpower the scent the animal previously left behind, encouraging the dog to find new areas to explore.

    Training

    • Some products may or may not work for every dog on their own. Often, they should be used as an aid in training.

    Considerations

    • Out of the several available products, many are natural and non-toxic to both the dog and the tree. Many companies are starting to use natural oils and other ingredients as opposed to chemicals.

    Other Repellents

    • Tree netting and fencing repels dogs by not allowing them access to the tree in question. As with many other repellents, nets and fences can help deter other animals, as well.
