GIZMO! was my s**tzu's name. i might try a shaker. I have had someone to tell me to get a water bottle and mist him a little..i tryed a couple times but not too much. I dont want to squirt him. But i have the last couple days got the bottle of water out and sit it beside me and say..you want mamma get the water? and when he see's it..he stops and walks off, but lays down and pouts and that makes me feel bad!
