Seems reasonable to me...but I was wondering if anyone out there can think of any potentially negative things about this form of deterrance? |
IT also really depends on the dog. S'Dragon would take being sprayed with water as a reward. He loves to play with the hose, waterguns, and shower heads. So spraying him for digging, barking and messing with the garbage would be rewarding him with a fun play. It would reinforce the unwanted behaviours.
just my $.02
