remote trainer vs clicker training??

Hi again! We are going to school soon. I found I have two options in our area. One trainer uses a remote trainer. Another trainer uses clicker training. Nash is 6 years old and listens well to me. She is getting better each day at listening to my boys (ages 15 & 6) and my husband. Which way is better? I cringe at the thought of a remote trainer on her for off leash training. My 6 year old wants to walk her in our yard (not fenced) with me, but he wants to hold the leash. Should we get a prong collar for her when he walks her with me, or should we just hold off till the classes start? My husband and I can walk her with just her flat collar, reminding her "no pull" with a short jerk on the leash. My fifteen year old has a little more trouble, but she is getting better with him. When I let my six year old try to walk her next to me, he went flying when she went after our cat. He was upset that he couldn't hang on to the leash, that Nash would run and wouldn't come back. She just looked at us like "what are you doing back there?" and came trotting back to us. Needless to say, next time, I will make sure the cat is in the house! Thank you for all of your help!!!!:)
