I can only reply with what I know,my dogs are not SCARED of a plastic bottle with stones,because they never have been part of aversion training,other dogs all breeds who are on the beach see the bottle bobbing about and thinks its a TOY and will go in after it.I have a very nervous puppy,who stills runaway from a ball if thrown towards her,but she does now likes to go in the sea after a bobbing bottle.I am sick and tired of being undermined by all these so called know alls on the forum.Yes if a dog is taught from an early age that certain things are scary they will react not because its in their nature,they are not born to be scared of a plastic bottle,it is WHAT WE TEACH THEM . Maybe on this forum we need some sort of qualification,to be able to answer a thread,all I can do is respond by what I know, with my own dogs and what I see around me.I am not preparing a thesis on dog behaviour,I am giving a genuine answer to what I find with my dogs,Distraction is part of traning, if you can distract a dog with something it likes what is wrong with that,its the same with small children you know when that child could kick off,so you distract it and show it something else its common sense, Gemini54
