Yep which is why there are so many disputes about banning them in NZ, when the DOC guys use them for avian aversion. And places like Animates suggest them for bark collars as a first option... *sigh*

I was going to get one for our toy poodle not much of a gun dog but points well, thought it would be better than alkathene and cleaner to use. May have to change my way of thinking after reading that!

You should, neither method you are thinking of are decent dog training methods. I train working dogs and the day you do your bun and need to hurt the dog you've fucked it up. There are better wyas, most are simple, dogs are simple, just communicate.. most people kick their dogs when they don;t know what else to do... learn what to do.

Very intelligent but to me a dog is a dog not a human and needs to know who is the boss, once they understand that you have control. Works for me anyway without violence.
