| I my opinion the best training tools you have are: Collar, leash and last but not least your VOICE and nothing else is necessary in dog training. No matter when, where or what your voice is always there and can be used in the right second before she even thinks or when you catch her in the act.
All other paraphernalia are a shortcut and will only cure a symptom but not the real problem. (Yes the dog may respect the bitter apple, the spray bottle and coins bottle but not your words)
If your dog obeys sit, down and other commands just because you say so…I am sure you also can teach her, that NO is NO and means stop now, whatever she is about to do.
Remember the dog lives in the moment and learns in the moment. I don’t think she understands what time-out in the crate is all about… but I am sure she will understand a deserved and correct timed correction by the collar and a firm no.
