Stun baton or handheld stun gun?
Choose a stun baton if you want extended reach, greater control, and impact capability alongside the electrical deterrent. Choose a handheld stun gun if compact size and everyday concealability are the priority. For dog deterrence specifically, the Repeller shock stick is purpose-built for that use case — the sound of the electrical arc alone stops most dogs without contact.
