Here is the instructions on the trap thingy ma jig.






The Snappy Trainer is an effective training device, often used in multiples to correct a large variety of unwanted behaviors. It's patented mousetrap-like device designed with a large flap or paddle that, when tripped, snaps shut, leaps into the air and makes a slapping noise frightening the pet committing the undesireable behavior. It's quick snapping action is designed to startle, not harm, is safe for puppies, cats and is effective even for large breeds of dogs. The Snappy Trainer corrects the pet at the exact moment he misbehaves which is the most effective time to correct undesired behavior. It is safe because it does not trap a pet's nose or paw. There is no risk of the pet being trapped or injured by the device. The Snappy Trainer effectively stops your pet from getting into the trash, jumping on furniture, beds or counter tops, digging and other destructive behaviors. Two (2) Snappy Trainers for $9.95.

I can see everyone saying its "sick" for small dogs,like yorkies and I would agree with this whole heartedly.....

BUT my mother has used them with her German Shepherds for years, none of them have ever gotten hurt, the snap reaction just scares them.

Nonetheless, I am speechless and I WOULD to email the company about this cruel matter

Funny you mention this mouse trap. I was just in Petsmart a couple of days ago and saw this mousetrap on a round carousel that had training products on it. It looked exactly like a mousetrap to me. I just thought that no one would buy this so I guess they will be stuck with these. I just can't believe anyone would buy this.

Anything like that has to be for huge dogs. I heard of this type of correction training device before, doesn't seem too safe.
