No, my dog would do the same thing if I used a spray bottle on her. What your dog is doing is "look away" (disengage from object), "look away" (disengage from owner), and THEN you have to get his attention. Why not just go get him and bring his attention to you? Why does he need to "look away, look away" before you do that?
By the time he's gone through his "look aways" you've long lost the 2 second window to teach him any connection between the command you give once you finally do get his attention and the behavior.
