I'm not going to drag this one on any longer, but I felt I should just clarify.
When writing these posts I'm not able to go in to lengthy detail on how to use a particular method, I try my best, but if I make a suggestion and someone wants more info, I am more than happy to have a phone conversation and explain in detail over the phone (this is my only option as I'm in Cyprus not UK).

One of the good things about these forums is we learn from each other and different ideas, we can't learn if we don't discuss them.

Used in the correct way and at the right time a remote spray collar is not an aversion technique, and I'll tell you why.

Go and see these collars being used, they are an aversion, they are not used the way you use them, they are used as a punishment. Owner buy them and don't read the instructions, only enough on how to spray the dog, when the dog is doing something the owner doesn't want, he sprays the dog. This isn't reinforcing a behaviour, it is punishing the dog for doing something the dog doesn't understand is wrong.
Most owners don't bother to find out how these gadgets work or how to use them, some have a remote in their hand so they press the button.

I wouldn't bother people are clearly not reading what you've written. Good luck with everything.

I read dogpositivetraining's posts, I find them interesting in how she uses various gadgets and the different training methods, even if I don't agree, I am still learning.
