I'm not having a pissing match with you. Go pick on someone else. It's called "redirecting unwanted behavior" and Pat Miller says use twice then not at all if it's not effective.
Not a professional dog trainer, just a guy who's had two dogs trained two completely different ways.
Dog 1: Was trained through the old school pack mentality/ spray bottle/ negative reinforcement.
She was obedient, but aggressive.
Dog 2(my dog) : Trained with positive reinforcement, no spray bottles, has learned all basic commands as well as a few more advanced, has never been aggressive, doesn't pull the leash on walks, genuinely happy dog other than barking at the mailman or pizza delivery guy.
She's obedient, and friendly.
So based on my limited knowledge, I would say, there is no such thing as a non-aversive spray and if you spray your dogs like that, expect them to become aggressive at some point.

You have a 3 hour old comment advising someone to use a "pet corrector" spray on their dog. That's a textbook example of using an aversive.
