DF is my dear fiancee. Sadly, he lives with me and the dog
Anyway, I certainly appreciate all the advice you've all given. Lesson learnt - trust your gut. I'm investigating clicker training to see if maybe we can try some structured, gentler training. We only have one more session with her and since she doesn't pay any attention to him cause he's so good, we'll probably go (practicing recall)
PS he's not a bad guy, but his behavior was encouraged by this trainer.. our first one on one session with her, she put a few liver treats on a small crate and when he went for them she yanked him so hard with the prong collar I actually lost sleep over it.
