I agree with this also. When I say sit, it means SIT. Don't you
dare get up until I release you! :D Same with down. My dogs don't even know the command "stay." Sit means "Sit and Stay."
And I also believe that 18 weeks is too young for strong corrections. Of course it also depends alot on the dog. D'Argo has always been able to take corrections very well. However, Crichton would cower when given a correction. We had to wait until he got a little older and more confidence in himself before we started giving him stronger corrections.
