treats & praise were used on the 2 sessions and the 3rd session first the treat, praise, then the trainer used the spray bottle, after 2 passes past the minipin he went after the other dog, he got sprayed. The 3rd pass he didn't even look at the minipin, he looked at the trainer who held the sprayer. I don't think he'll get sprayed today (today is session day) as long as he sees that bottle. If and when I have to leash walk him I will take the bottle. Command word does not work when he gets 6 feet away from the minipin, it works at 10 feet distance, but the closer I get to the other dog, Cody goes bonkers. The spray bottle would only be used on leash walks IF he goes into Cujo mode. I would rather he fears a bottle then have him injured even killed with is insane aggressive behavior when he sees another dog. Vet visits and trips to the Pet stores are the worse, many dogs. Thanks for your input. Everyone's advise, suggestions, tips, may not work for me and the behavior I am trying to correct, but could help others that may read this thread. Again thank you.
