Well squirting when just water is not as terrible as the other things you listed with it. We tried the can of coins when Callie was a puppy and it really scared her and now loud noises still scare her. A year ago I read in DogFancy how they are saying that using the can of coins and other loud noises to reprimand your dog has made many dogs become fearful of loud noises. Now not all but some and that is something to think about before decided on a loud noise to use to train by.
