I just re-read luvarott's post and my last post (yikes...I noticed all of the typos too!!
) I'm thinking that's what is going on with Sam. He's purely positively trained. Yeah, this school does have dogs which compete and are titled. I haven't seen the trainer's dog yet. But there is one guy in there with a Irish Setter who is a push-button dog.
Hmmmm....so that brings me to the question what's a good correction? When Sam had some aggressive issues, I strongly corrected verbally and he probably thought he was going to die if he ever showed aggression again. Should I pop a prong collar and verbally correct him? How do you correct your dog when he feels like blowing you off? (Jeez, I feel like the biggest moron asking these questions)
