Exactly.
And my worry is, that people will see a trainer on DB shake a rattle bottle a couple of times, and it won't work as dramatically as is shown on TV (of course) and they'll think "I must just have to shake it harder/more frequently" and they'll end up with either a cowed, scared dog (bad) or a scared, aggressive dog (worse)
I know all about the "Don't try this at home" disclaimer but I really don't think they hammer that home enough.
