But, again, she only made the caution for dogs with servere behavior problems.
I think if you only used it once in awhile, it would be fine. Jake loves it, and when my son is done playing with him, he gives him a treat. But, he doesn't have any behavior probs. I could see where it would make an aggressive dog more aggressive though. I've heard you have to be really careful not to shine it near their eyes.
