These products usually come as sprays or powders, and you can often find them at pet shops and garden supply stores. There are numerous scents manufacturers use to drive dogs away, and most products contain natural ingredients. Some of these dog repellants are meant to have a bitter smell that dogs dislike. Others actually smell like the urine of the predators and will thus scare dogs away. Motion-activated sprinklers are not only designed to water your lawn but also to scare off any visiting critters, including dogs, cats, and raccoons. Set these sprinklers up along the perimeter of your lawn or at any specific spot where visiting strays frequently do their business. As the dog passes in front of the sprinkler, the motion will set it the sensors, triggering a quick spray of water. This spray is enough to startle most dogs and send them scurrying away. Nothing keeps animals out quite like a physical barrier. Dogs looking for an easy spot to take care of their business will likely skip over lawns with fences in favor of those without. Make sure you keep the gate of your fence closed and periodically monitor the perimeter for holes dug by stubborn canines. If you already have a fence, check for holes that need to be repaired. It is also possible to purchase electrified fences, but that is an extreme solution. Ultrasonic repellents are also motion-activated. You can mount the mechanism onto a shed, tree, or fence. As the dog approaches, it will trigger the sensors, causing the repellent to emit sonic and ultrasonic sound waves that are intended to bother the dog. It is unclear how well these devices actually work. Until more evidence emerges supporting their efficacy, this should probably be your last resort.

Depending on how involved the relationship is, you may need to make preparations for your departure, making certain to keep yourself as safe as possible. If you have only begun the relationship, you may be able to simply walk away, but abusive marriages can be much more complicated. Form a plan and put it into effect at the soonest possible moment. Don't wait for abuse to worsen before you act. If you are in a relationship that is starting to become abusive, it is not likely that your partner will be able to change. Abuse isn't caused by the victim doing something "wrong," it's caused by the abuser. If you are going to leave, you likely need to do it while your abuser is not home. Plan and prepare to leave at a time when your abuser will be out of the house. Give yourself plenty of time to gather your emergency bag, essential paperwork, and get away before you can be followed. You do not have to leave a note or an explanation for why you are leaving. It is okay to just leave. If you do not have access to your own transportation, make arrangements to have someone pick you up. If you fear that you are in imminent danger, you can have the police pick you up and remove you from your home. If you have your important numbers in another place, consider leaving your cell phone behind when you go. Cell phones can be set for tracking (convenient for locating a lost or stolen phone, but not for escaping an abuser). Leaving it behind can help you leave behind your abuser. Consider getting a prepaid cell phone and having it packed in your emergency bag. This could allow you to make important calls related to your escape and safety without potentially leading your abuser to you. A PPO is a court-backed document that allows you legal protection from a past abuser. To file for a PPO, take any and all evidence of abuse you have as well as a letter describing the abusive situation and the relationship between you and your abuser to your local courthouse. They should provide you with further instructions about how to fill out the appropriate paperwork to get a legal PPO. After you file for your PPO, if it is approved, it will need to be legally served to your abuser, and you will need to file a proof of service with the court. Talk to the clerk at the courthouse about how to do this. Once you have a PPO, keep it with you at all times. If your abuser violates the terms of the PPO, you may need to show the PPO to the police. Abusive exes can be incredibly malicious and dangerous after you leave. To protect yourself, you'll want to eliminate ways for your ex to intrude on your life or sabotage you in any way. In cases of severe violence, or if you fear for your life, you may need to relocate to a new place. You can take steps to make your new location anonymous, such as applying to an address confidentiality program or using a P.O. Box for mail, changing all of your financial account information, and having an unlisted phone number. If you live in your own house or apartment and have ended a relationship with someone who did not live with you, you should change your locks. Even if you don't think your ex has a key, he may have made a copy of your keys without your knowledge. If you are getting out of or you have just left an abusive relationship, change all of your passwords. Your online passwords for banking, social media, email, and even work need to be changed as soon as possible. You should take this step even if you do not think that your abuser knows your passwords. You can't change how your ex will react to your departure. You can, however, limit contact with your abuser after you have left. As soon as you're able to, block your ex on all avenues of communication. Most modern communication devices have built-in blocking features, but you may have to contact your phone company directly to block your abuser from calling you. If your abuser finds ways to harass you, change your contact information. It can be inconvenient to change all of your contact information and to ensure that only your close friends and loved ones learn your new information, but it can help keep your abuser from getting in touch with you again. If you absolutely can't seem to rid yourself of your abuser, know that you have legal options at your disposal. Chief among these is the restraining order, as well as assault charges, given the proper evidence and circumstances. Speak with the authorities and a domestic violence counselor for more information. If you can demonstrate evidence of abuse in a court of law, you may still be able to win a restraining order against your abusive ex. If your abuser comes within a certain distance of you, this is a violation of the law.
