Company of Animals The Pet Corrector, 1.69 (Pack 4)

I didn’t read the fine print that should be used with puppies I gave this to my son who uses it with his older dog He says it works great

Sadly we had to return it.

We have a can in each of our main dog areas. We use it for jumping up because we have a 5-yr-old son who gets bowled over by the puppy. When the dog does the undesired behavior, you are supposed to spray them in the flank with the spray - it's supposed to be hidden from view to add to the surprise, which can be hard to do. It makes a loud hissing noise and they feel a little bit of air hit them - it's exactly enough to interrupt the behavior and make the dog wonder what is going on. Our dog is extremely smart and she "got" it right away. Now, when she starts to get rambunctious, I pick up the can just in case, and she sees the can and settles right down. I don't show it to her or anything as a threat, she's just that smart. We also hold it behind our backs to add to the surprise, but she has that figured out too. Now, if we stand in front of her with our hands behind our backs (basically defenseless against jumping), she absolutely doesn't jump on us because she thinks we are holding the can back there. It's not a tool for punishment - it doesn't hurt or even scare her. It just startles enough that it interrupts the behavior and their thought pattern in the moment. In our positive training puppy class, the instructor showed us how to use this if the dog gets overly rambunctious - as with other dogs. I asked if we should use for jumping and she said no, that she would teach us something else for that. Her way of getting a dog to settle (not jump), if the treats are not working, is to throw a beanbag at the dog until they settle. I think it is also supposed to interrupt their behavior, but I much prefer using the spray than throwing something at my dog.

I find this quite difficult to press down on the button to release the air. It was every can. And so when I do press it down with all my strength I let out way more air than I want to and the can gets used up very fast. Will be trying a different brand.

I can not explain how awesome this stuff is!!! I have a 15 month mini goldendoodle that has anxiety (so much that we have to have him put to sleep to get groomed) and he is WILD and obviously it's because he is a puppy, but when I get home he constantly jumps and bites me for attention. I sprayed this when he would jump up and he STOPPED!!! He also would jump up to the counter for food and I sprayed it and he hasn't done it for 2 days now!! He knows the can now so if I get it out he will put his head and tail down, but he also knows he did something he wasn't suppose to. However, when I spray it I do say no. Once he backs away I will go over to him and hug him then give him a treat and tell him good boy. This is much cheaper and works way better then a trainer :)
