I figured a couple of squirts would do it, figuring once he sees that bottle he wouldn't lunge.

Forget it, his face would be drenched, he had no fear of the water spray bottle.

Water spray does work on dogs, just not all dogs, I should have worked with the "fly swatter" instead.

Riighht!? A thousand years back, I tried water bottle with my German Shepherd puppy to alleviate biting. Turns out the dog was half duck. Loved water and would even go after the high pressure water at car wash!! Geez louise!! Glad so many here can offer so many great options!
