you dont want to scare him, only use the bottle if he does something you dont want him to do. you could even use the bottle, when you are eating. if he comes up to you or your plate, shake the bottle firmly and tell him leave it, or back off!

just keep trying with the tips and you as well as him will get the idea.

the training will help create a bond between you both, especially if you follow the rules (tips).

if you need any other help with clicker training, etc then please message me.
