Sound Defense LLC Information

Leah earned her certification by volunteering at the local animal shelter, under the supervision of the staff behavior specialist. A deep understanding of dog behavior coupled with a passion for cycling, gave Leah and her husband John valuable experience, and an understanding of the need for protection from aggressive dogs. It also helped them to understand the trouble canines have when relying on instinct to navigate a human world. As avid cyclists, they had been chased down on many occasions, barely avoiding bike crashes due to dogs and being bitten was the last straw. "We tried everything we could get our hands on at first, but we couldn't find a product that was effective in the many different conditions and circumstances that the outdoors offered. You have to have something that works well in many different situations" Leah said. They knew it was time for an aggressive dog deterrent device that was safe, effective, and humane. They combined the founder's experience understanding canine behavior, and instinctive responses, with the principles of animal vocalizations and motivation-structural rules. The result is a sound defense and protection from aggressive dogs. At Sound Defense, we believe:• People who work outside, runners, walkers, and cyclists should be able to enjoy the outdoors without the threat of an aggressive dog. • Brains will win over brutality every time, and people are smarter than the dog in the fight. • Life is easier if you get the right tool for the job. • It's far better for the dog if it is humanely prevented from completing an aggressive behavior than landing itself in line for euthanasia. • Making a positive impact on our community by volunteering, participating in charity events, and supporting improvement in the way people bike, walk and commute is important.
