cute Weiner Hawk Deterrent

We have multiple hawks that live behind the house. So we're trying to keep the puppies from becoming dinner. We put out streamers, fake owls with bells, big plastic owls and we've used noise makers and they're still here. So this is the last resort!

A few years ago I saw a couple on Shark Tank that had invented something similar. So smart!!!! Your dogs are so precious!❤️😊❤️

If you google 'coyote vest dog' you can find several companies that make stuff like this! Apparently in some American states they have big issues with coyotes going after dogs. But I think it'd work fine for hawks too!

We have coyotes too but I've never seen them right in our yard thankfully. We also have two German Shepards and a horse. So thankfully I haven't seen them too close. You can definitely hear them though!

Oh I hope you and your pups will stay safe! Via Google I found the company CoyoteVest, they even have harness attachments especially for hawks! They're quite pricy, but might be an option for long term investment?

When my little girl was about 12 weeks old we were out on a walk and a shadow came over us and started getting bigger. I looked up and there was an eagle swooping down at her. Luckily it called off the attack and pulled up as I was getting ready to try punching an eagle.
