[Maxxx]

Should I try it again tonight with the martingale and just have the prong on stand by? I have no intention of correcting him unless he doesn't look at me when I ask him to. That will be the only time I correct, or if he goes to play with another dog. I'm hoping to catch him before he goes though.

Also, I don't think the instructor is very experienced with harder dogs. Which is hard for me to imagine since she's been doing OB since 1995 and somewhere in there, started to teach. So I guess I assumed she's "seen them all". She's had a top 5 OB dog in Canada and US. But she was having a heck of a time controlling Max. I could sense her getting frustrated and I'd like to avoid that at all costs until the last class on Apr 14.

While I disclose that last paragraph, please don't assume the only reason why I'm thinking of putting Max in a prong for classes is because of my perceived lack of ability to control him by the instructor.
