| Re: Use of spray bottles in training
I think we ALL have our preferences for training and our reasons why and I'm also sure that we all don't follow our preferred "methods" 100% of the time
below are some interesting discussions from the mother of all clicker training, Karen Pryor... Aversive or Punishment? | Karen Pryor Clickertraining Hidden Aversives: Are You Punishing Unconsciously? | Karen Pryor Clickertraining
2 things she says are worth thinking about, no matter what your opinion on any training method is...1)while aversives stop they behaviour - they don't CHANGE it 2)Whenever an aversive seems like the "answer" to a "problem," find another way.
