From the Field

"Drove into a farmyard and no dogs were originally present. As I was doing site evaluation before exiting vehicle, two German shepherds came out from behind the house not barking. They went to the passenger side to sniff the tires. I got out to read the meter on the pole. After reading the meter as I was returning to the truck, the dogs attacked. I deployed the Bite Terminator and made it back to the vehicle unharmed."

"Now that we have nearly 100% of our meter readers really using the Bite Terminator umbrella as their primary defense against dog attacks, we have only ONE dog bite injury in Meter Reading this year. And the one dog bite was because the reader did not have it ready to use (critical behavior). This thing works!"

"As I went to read a meter on the backside of a house, I turned the corner and a big Husky was about two feet from me. I stood still as it started to growl. I pulled out my Bite Terminator and deployed it. The dog grabbed it and backed up as I backed off. I used it to get around him and down the driveway and out of range."

"Stopped at a house to read a meter. A dog out front was loose but seemed okay. While walking back to the truck, the dog lunged at me. I used the Bite Terminator to keep the dog away while I got into the truck."

"We have seen a great reduction in dog incidents since we started using the Bite Terminator. We went from an average of 5-7 dog bites a year down to this year with only 1! We certainly associate this with better training and certainly the proper use of the Bite Terminators. I have witnessed this myself, while out auditing Meter Readers, I had a German Shepherd break a chain and he came charging. I was able to keep the dog at bay while walking back four houses to my vehicle. The dog charged several times, and the Bite Terminator allowed me access to my vehicle while keeping the dog back."

"Since implementing the Bite Terminator dog bite prevention system in select areas, we have been assessing its benefit. While we’ve been getting some anecdotal evidence of its benefits, we now have one very clear piece of evidence of its prevention use. A St. John’s meter reader had a “chunk” out of his Terminator, compliments of a cross between a German Shepherd/Collie dog (with a second dog onlooking). He was shaken up but unquestionably the Terminator prevented serious injury to him. Without getting into more detail, perhaps a picture is worth a thousand words."

"A German Shepherd-Chow mix was running loose between houses. When you turn your back, he will snap at your heels. As I read the meter, he charged and I deployed the umbrella without turning, startling him. He ran 100’ before he turned back and never got within 50’ of me again."

"There is a part Pit bull that is always aggressive. I used umbrella to back the dog up so I could read the meter. Before this, nothing would work, but this did. I am very impressed with this product."

"A large Pit bull surprised Meter Reader in a small walkway behind some buildings. Meter Reader deployed his Bite Terminator as the dog lunged upon him and the dog shredded it instead of him. They really do work! I will be carrying mine regularly from now on. Thanks!"

"During his rounds, a Meter Reader entered a yard. Upon entering, a vicious dog prepared itself to attack him. Upon seeing the dog, he opened the Bite Terminator, and this stopped the dog in its tracks. With the Bite Terminator open, he withdrew safely from the yard. Once outside he closed the Bite Terminator and the closing of it caused the dog to back off even further. This was our first experience after the workshop and introduction of the Bite Terminator at the WEB Aruba N.V., and it proved effective in stopping the attack of a dog. We will encourage everybody in the Meter department to use their Bite Terminator to prevent dog attacks."

"I entered a yard to read a meter on the back of a home. The address was coded for a dog, though there was not one visible and there was no fence around the house. Just to be safe, I removed the Bite Terminator from the holster and had it in my hand. As soon as I rounded the back corner of the house, a Pit bull on a chain lunged toward me. Fortunately, since the Bite Terminator was already in my hand, I had just enough time to deploy it. The umbrella was destroyed, but it served as a barrier giving me space to back up beyond the length of the chain. The Bite Terminator undoubtedly saved me from being seriously injured."
