I just bought a bunch of squirt guns today so I can take them with me when we go out as well, since the bottle is big and awkward to carry. I do worry about the stream from the toy squirt gun being a little too strong though, in case it gets him in the eyes or something. Does anyone have any experience with squirt guns?
I think the vinegar solution is suggested only for for spraying on things that you don't want them to chew. But not actually squirting on the dog. It could definitely get in their eyes and hurt them or cause harm. |
Thanks for the reply. I thought the vinegar seemed wrong. I must have misunderstood. Thanks for letting me know.
So pleased you are having some success! I am going to give it a try with my little terror. Yesterday, she broke free of her lead and D ring!!! I nearly had a heart attack as we were near a busy road. She was barking and chasing a squirrel that she spotted and pulled so hard that she broke free! It was a scary experience. I am going to replace the D ring on her new Puchi coat/harness with a stronger one and buy a lead for a large dog. Hopefully this will be stronger and hold more firmly than her present lead, which is for toy size dogs. My little terror has the strength of a rotty, when she want to attack another animal. I can't believe how strong she is sometimes.
Anyway, hope things continue to improve with your little furbaby. I just hope the spray bottle is going to work for me.
