Do you always have to PICK UP a pup to hold it? C'mon, use your head!
WHERE are you getting sources from anyway, a he say she say?
Like i said earlier, if you can't be careful with the bottle and feel that you might clumsily spray in their eyes then PLEASE don't use it!
Here i have to RE-iterate again, each person will find a good compromise with their pups accordingly. Nonetheless, if it doesn't hurt your pet, then do what you may, only you know what 's good for them. It's not about me not being open minded about what you're saying, it is you who is accusing me of wrongdoing, not the other way around.
In retrospect to your "link of information" there are pet trainers like Cesar Millan (and my long time Vet) who recommends Bitter Apples as a negative reinforcement for unfavorable habits.
People have been known to give their disobedient dogs jalapeno juice or even tobasco sauce, least worry about Bitter Apples! God forbid you, If you've ACTUALLY researched into what the product contains, you will find that Bitter Apples is non-toxic... how many times do i have to say that... here's what non-toxic means - it means there's no harm to their health... ta-da.
And again, i would never shake a can of coins, whether near their ears or "discretely" behind my backs because my puppy is afraid of the noise.
Last but not least, if bitter apples was harmful to dogs, do you think they'd still be selling them in major pet stores? |
