Question
hi there my aunty owns a bullarad and he is only a puppy and when ever we go walking he just yanks off our arm. We tried spraying him with a water bottle but he just loves water. so we were wondering what do we do now with him yanking our arm all the time.

Answer
I would not advise squirting a dog for anything, it simply isn't necessary and really doesn't tell the dog what you want him to do instead of the behavior you didn't like.  Until you get the dog in to a good puppy class, where your aunt can learn the correct way to teach him to walk nicely, you could purchase a "no pull harness" such as a "Sensation Harness" or "Freedom Harness" that will let you get the walk done, but not so uncomfortably.  By the way, if you have a BullArab and are actually in Australia, you can get a referral to a good trainer by calling Urban Dog Training in Brisbane.
