Our newest rescue dog, Blake, is quite a mountain goat. He learned to jump from the top of the sofa to the "bar" top of the counter to the kitchen counter. A water spray bottle was only around when I was around and awake. We got this. Scared the hell out of us several times because it would go off when we came near it, but one spray from this can scared the hell out of him and he hasn't been back.
