| "Leave it" can be accomplished with simple redirection.
I've seen an awful lot of otherwise wonderful dogs TERRIFIED of hoses, squirt guns etc because of the negative imprint they received as pups with them.
I just prefer to train the dog rather than use things that can and often do affect them negatively in OTHER areas.
