[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was about to try the spray bottle to keep him off of the couch. He has pooped and peed on it already and that has to end. Maybe I'll try for the biting too.

To the person saying that was abusive, umm... it's a dog, not a child, and it's water. [/quote]

Yes, it is abusive.  Would you like it if someone constantly sprayed you with water?  These behaviors are normal for a 3 month old puppy.  [/quote]

You're unhinged.

While the behaviors may be "normal for a 3 month old puppy" interacting with puppies, they're not acceptable behaviors for a dog interacting with children.

The good news is: puppies are trainable. The bad news is: wackos like you think nonviolent training methods are "abuse" and don't train their dogs.[/quote]

Its extremely abusive.[/quote]

No, a spray bottle with water isn't abusive, and you're a mess. Sleep it off instead of shiteposting after midnight, maybe?[/quote]

I’m a DP and I agree that it’s abusive. Do better. Don’t be a lazy pet owner. [/quote]

You're probably not a DP, you're probably sockpuppeting.

Do what you need to do to train your dog. What's actually abusive is adopting some rigid mentality of pseudo-moral correctness that results in a trainable puppy becoming a full-grown dog with terrible manners who's then labeled as "untrainable" and passed off to rescuers like me.

Watch how dogs correct dogs. A spray bottle isn't "abuse" at all. It's a puppy, not a child. [/quote]

That's not training and many of us have been able to train our dogs without abusing them with spray bottles and things like shock collars.  This is a normally puppy behavior.  They are three months old and trying to figure things out.  [/quote]
