Spray Commander, remote control training system

I always said, that when all else failed preventing Lola's dog aggression, I would go reluctantly, to an E collar. She bit my son in a frenzy when she saw another dog and went crazy. She has been trained, re trained and then some.
My vet, who truly loves her, has to empty his waiting room of other dogs just to bring her to get a nail trim. Once inside with the team, she is all love and kisses. He never has to muzzle her, she never growls but, let one other dog near her and the teeth come out and the drool flows. She cannot be reached when she is in that zone. She bit my son last week while she was in a frenzy and that was the last straw. Her tooth went right through his thumb when he attempted to correct her. She was so sorry after he screamed, she had diarrhea all the way home.
It was a professional decision by the trainer and the vet, to get an E collar. I went on line to order it and found this spray system as a choice. More humane, no danger to dog and it worked so well the first two times I couldn't believe it.
Lola saw another dog, started to go crazy I said no, attempted to do the drill to get her attention.No reaction on her part. I said no one more time and pressed the remote. She got a spray from the collar and she calmed right down. The next dog she saw, she needed 2 sprays to calm down . We walked a little further near a house where 2 goldens were getting in their car. As Lola was about to lunge, I stated a firm no. She looked at me and stayed focused to see if I was going to make the spray happen. When she didn't go crazy, we had a party right in the street. She had a piece of hot dog and pettings and kisses.
When we got home, I kept her outside, leashed next to me. We waited for the boxers two doors down to go for a walk. She started to act out, she got a spray and immediately sat. A true Lola miracle!!
Any comments about this system would be appreciated.
