Wow- I've read tons of training book and been to trainers and watched oodles of training shows.. NEVER have I heard that one.. What is that solving? So in the midst of a
Episode.. and no shower.. What? Blast them with a hose.. I'm sorry that's crazy..how about teaching you to control your dog so we don't get to this out of control point. That is the goal.. not a temporary distraction..that they associate with nothing they have done.. then you'd have a dog traumatized by water.
