some value in terms of your time and the fact that the dog will know what it's supposed to do, but ultimately you are absolutely correct. It's about consistently applying the training. No matter how much is done outside the house, they will unlearn it and learn new habits based on what you do with them.

yeah, the training is for you as much as the dog. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 10:33
This. It sounds like the PetSmart training they did was night and day different from our sessions. We never used a clicker - TWuG Nov 7, 09:41 3
- I never thought of the chain type collar as a negative ... it just did a better job of catching the attention than the regular collar - I never pulled - JenBro Nov 7, 10:25
- We used a clicker on a new behavior we were trying to teach from a different trainer. I will say that it would get his attention better than just - pmb Nov 7, 09:54
- Lead-on pulling is only an issue if you make it one. Our older dog pulled but I didn't care because it was not something I deemed worthwhile to train. -- nm - Shaun Nov 7, 09:44
