| Re: Use of spray bottles in training
Another forum I frequent had this situation present itself recently. The poster explained that her dog (bullmastiff, I believe around 18 mths old) had barked and growled at her, from his crate while she was petting her other dog (older dog, no longer crated). Someone told her to throw a glass of water on the dog when he did this. I opposed this advice with vehement desire, to no avail. The poster threw a glass of water at her dog the next time his displayed this behaviour and because he didn't do it again that night, she believed it to be effective. There have been no updates on this situation, but goes to show that when people get their "immediate results", they believe certain tactics to be effective. |
