Definitely wouldn't make a good corrector if used for play. Careful around the eyes! (sorry, I'm paranoid and wouldn't want anyone reading to make this mistake.)
I agree that it is not a positive reinforcement and I would carefully consider my dog's personality before using something like this. Max is not fearful of noises. We give the "quiet" command first and pick up the can only when he doesn't listen to us -- which is when the doorbell or my phone rings.
Poor Buster.  I would definitely not use it if it scared my boys. |
Perhaps this would work on Toto. He doesn't seemed scared of much. Scrappy used to LOVE play barking at the air compressor at work. He liked to show off how tough he was.
He would try to bite the air stream.
