If you decide to use a spray or something similar, make sure doesn’t interact with the K9 Advantix. That said- how does your dog feel about clothes? My horse has similar reaction to bug bites and she wears a fly sheet all summer. I didn’t know a similar product existed for dogs until a google search turned up this. Good luck to you and your doggie 🐶
I love my zoom groom! I have a greyhound who also sheds regularly, and she appears to see it as a massage, while all the hair gets brushed out and left outside. I usually rub it in circles to get the most hair out at once.
In a perfect world, I have no problem with using aversives as temporary management. If Penny were to run into a busy street or chew on a power chord, I wouldn't hesitate to grab her, or jerk her, or even shout at her to get her to stop (and then I'd subsequently reevaluate my training to realize where I messed up and to ensure that situation doesn't happen again). From a more long-term perspective, I also have no problem with people using whatever training tool they need to manage their dog outside of the training process, whether that be a front-clasping harness or a head halter or even a prong collar. Loose leash walking can take months to teach with positive reinforcement, so the question is whether the ability to provide your dog with normal walks (outside of the training process) using a head halter/front-clasping harness/prong collar for control outweighs the short-term, minimally aversive experience associated with the tool- and in my opinion, absolutely yes. But I think the problem comes about when people use some of these tools as training aids. In the extra time that it takes to counter condition the tool so that it isn't aversive long term and then to eventually phase it out, you could have just done without it in the first place. I think head halters (like any other tool) can be beautiful short-term management tools for some dogs, but as soon as your training becomes reliant on them long-term, they can become problematic for the dog both physically and psychologically. Basically, head halters: use them sparingly and use them wisely, and for god's sake, get rid of 'em as soon as possible.
While we're on the topic, here's a product I found the other day that outta tickle your fancy ;)
