Unless you have Parkinsons and unable to hold a bottle steadily, there is no reason for you to use Bitter Apples.
When you force feed your pets, do you accidentally/clumsily POKE them in the eye? That's ridiculous.. If you're not capable, please don't use it.
The only way you could get it into the eyes of your pet is by spraying it at a distance. If that's what you implying how i spray it, you're just a genius. I NEVER spray unless I've got a firm grip around my baby's mouth and i put the nozzle INTO the mouth and give it a 1/4 squeeze, never a full spray, therefore, no eye contact.
I said this is how I TRAIN my puppy and if you disagree, don't insult me. Shame on you. Why would i put coins in a bottle and shake it to the death of her ears and frighten the hell out of her? That, to me, is cruel treatment on my pup. But i'm not going to SHUN anyone from using that technique as it might work for them.
So please, don't just sit there and judge me. |
A. Let me get this straight...you pick them up and put the bottle in their mouths and spray? How long does this take? I am sure it is over the time recommended by trainers to get the message across.
B. I don't force feed my pups. I do not understand that analogy at all.
C. What does shunning have to do with something that could be potentially hazardous to a pup?
D. Who said anything about shaking a can to death in a pup's ear and frightening the hell out of her?
E. Flame away. No one judged you. You came back with some pretty strong comments and inuendoes in my opinion. I stand by what I said about using Bitter Apple the way that you do. I hope it will save other pups from your training tip. I think it is pretty careless myself and cannot even imagine someone doing it. I tried to say that tactfully and tried to show you where a trainer advised against it. Clearly you think you are right and are not open to others' ideas. So..hey....whatever.
