Pet Corrector Spray

Company of Animals Pet Corrector Spray Product Highlights

The manufacturer describes a W.A.G. process: witness the unwanted behaviour, act with one short burst away from the dog, and give a clear command followed by a suitable reward when the dog responds correctly.

The brief sound is only an interruption. Long-term progress depends on teaching an appropriate alternative behaviour and addressing environmental or emotional causes that may be contributing to the problem.

Pet Corrector is not recommended for young puppies, nervous dogs, anxious dogs or dogs that show distress in response to sound. Stop use immediately if the reaction is stronger than expected.

Directions for Use

Before regular use, test the dog’s sensitivity with one short burst from at least three metres away. The can must be directed away from the dog, and use should stop if the dog shows fear, distress or an unusually strong reaction.

• Use a short burst lasting approximately one second.
• During training, remain at least one metre away.
• Always point the can away from the dog, other animals and people.
• Give a clear cue as soon as the dog pauses.
• Reward the correct response with praise or a suitable treat.
• Do not use continuous or repeated bursts.
• Stop immediately if the dog appears fearful or distressed.

The approximate number of uses depends on short one-second activations and can vary according to how firmly or how long the button is pressed.

Safety & Storage

The container is pressurised and must be handled carefully. It produces a sound from compressed air and should never be aimed at the dog’s body, face, eyes or ears.

• Do not use Pet Corrector as a punishment or to frighten the dog.
• Do not use it on young puppies, anxious dogs or dogs showing distress.
• Do not hold or operate the can upside down.
• Keep it away from heat, flames and direct sunlight.
• Do not puncture or burn the container, even when empty.
• Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
• Children should not operate the product.

On first use, a firm press may be required to break the built-in safety seal. After opening, use controlled one-second bursts rather than holding the button down.

Behaviour caused by pain, fear, separation distress or anxiety needs a different approach. Speak to a veterinarian or suitably qualified dog behaviour professional when the cause is uncertain or the behaviour continues.
