kids and squirting the dog with squirt guns

CindynEarl · 05-16-2010, 02:50 PM

Should I repimand the kids from squirting Cruiser with squirt guns or is there really no harm? I initially got a squirt bottle with water to squirt Cruiser with it when he stands up to attempt to pull things off the kitchen table but it did not seem to phase him at all. The kids recently got squirt guns as a birthday gift from a relative and were shooting Cruiser. He seems to have fun with it?????????

put it this way if the kids use it for fun and you say Cruiser has fun then when you want to use it for Training.....well that method of training is shot

Yeah, I know. Thought of that already but that discipline method did not seem to phase him anyway.

True, annmarie.
SO! I say........forget it as a training tool and just have FUN!

There are other things that can be done. In fact, I may just go buy a squirt gun!

Thanks guys. He loves drinking the water the kids shoot down his mouth.
