Question:
I have a 4 pound Yorkie and have seen eagles and owls in our general area. I wondered if a reflective jogging armband with a flashing light in it might act as deterent. Would umbrellas scattered in the yard be a deterent. Any other ideas that might be a deterent.

Replies:
Hi Stehanie

i really have no idea what could be a deterent for the raptors, but i can recommend you very strongly to take a good care of your doggie. Yorks are small and i heard of many cases of these kind of savage birds attacking very fast and carrying small animals.

I am sure somebody will help you.

Good luck!
