I've seen some people mentioning about using spray bottles as a method of training certain behaviours. To me, it seems like a form of bullying the puppy / dog, and not a way to gain a dog's respect for you. I've also read somewhere that in a lot of dogs where owners use this method, it can create eye, ear, and nose infections. I don't personally like it and don't use it, but that's JMO. But maybe I'm not seeing something here. Just wanting to get everyone's thoughts on this, if they recommend or don't recommend it.

I don't like it/don't use it. I prefer to have my dogs do something incompatible with performing the undesired behavior. Also, if I have to correct my dog or get their attention, which happens from time to time, I want them to know the correction/attention call came from me. Unless you are planning to always have a bullhorn/spray bottle on hand what good is using this tool? If they are being used inside the house you'll likely need them outside as well. I'd rather use tools that are always present, my voice, the leash, collar, my body language, etc.
