I see posts that reference "just squirt them". Is the dog squirted as part of learning no, or as a general off leash correction? Can someone elaborate? Thanks.
Ricky, I use it to redirect their behaviour.
We need to get the SQUIRT MASTER to answer how he uses this training tool. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
The squirt bottle is not a punishment. It is simply to change what they are thinking about. If a dog is barking all of a sudden they get squirted most will stop what they are doing and try to figure out where the water came from. Same with jumping and so forth. It is a pattern interrupt to coin a phrase from Anthony Robbins.
Pattern interupt as Todd quoted.
This is the principal which herd guarding dogs work on. Rather than attack the predator, wolf ,lion, etc. The herd guard dog will, by barking at the predator, break up the pattern of stalk, chase, kill, thereby stopping the attack. This is from the book "DOGS" by the Copengers(spelling)
