Australian Cattle Dogs/spray bottle

Question
hi

the other day i asked you how to stop my puppy from jumping up and biting at heels, you said to use the spray bottle with half water n half vinegar

it has worked wonderfully but can u use this method to teach the dog to not go near things like animal cages?

or to teach it not to pull things off the line?
i have and it seemed to work but i just wanted to make sure because it could make things worse some how, i dont know.

byee thanks

Answer
Yes, use the spray bottle for keeping the dog away from things,staying in the back of the car...or biting at your legs or hands. I am truly sorry...I hope I have answered all your follow up questions, as I will not be able to answer any more.Good luck with your puppy! Hope my answers have helped.

I will answer any general or specific questions regarding Australian Cattle Dogs(conformation, behavior, showing in either obedience or conformation). I cannot give any comments or recommendations re:AKC judges,as that would be considered a conflict of interest.

Experience

I have owned, bred and shown ACDs for the past 13 years, and I am a licensed conformation judge (AKC) for the breed. I have owned and operated an all breed training center for the past 22 years.
