... what's the best way to use this method? Do I just spray him when he's doing something wrong? do I spray it in his mouth/face? thanks for any help. You usually only use it for barking--though it does wonders for jumping up too, as Rusty's breeder's children found out one hot summer day with squirt guns. They spend 3 hours chasing the dog around the yard with the squirt guns. The idea is to startle them by spraying it in their face. It also works well for cats and biting, and I've found it to be super-effective with the morning "FEED ME" routine. Especially when I'm not out of bed when the yowling begins. -- Emily Carroll http://www.fluttervale.com/kennel - Fluttervale Labradors http://www.fluttervale.com/biography - Canine Biography |

After only a few times, the cats associated that noise with the squirt and I didn't have to worry about having the "gun" on hand! After 14 years, my oldest cat still ducks her head and immediately stops whatever she's doing when I make that noise! (After 14 years, she shouldn't still be doing things she shouldn't though, huh! That's a cat for ya!) Fran |
