Dog Barking Out of Control?

The use of a water-filled spray bottle to break a dog from nuisance barking has been around for many years. Put water in a bottle that has an adjustable nozzle and set it on the jet spray. When your dog barks excessively, spray them near the mouth. This is not to be used every time they bark! Dogs bark. This is a tool and does not replace training.

I had a new thought about the water bottle. What if we used it on humans or even ourselves! Isn’t that a great new useage? Let’s say you are out to dinner and someone at a table near you is doing nothing but complaining as the server approaches. Here’s where you come in…as soon as the server approaches their table, be prepared, and the second they start to utter words of complaint, they get a light jet spray of water near their mouth. I think it would work. I’m sure you can think of a lot of other uses where this “nice” correction could be used effectively.

I am only thinking of our dogs. Why should they be corrected for nuisance “talking” when we are all guilty of it at one time or another? Soon, we will see spray bottles sitting on home and business counters and we will all know what it means. Maybe we would all be a little bit more aware of what is coming out of our mouths.

Maybe a little “barking” isn’t so bad. . .
