| Well rottnvegas; you haven't learned the "how to's" of motivational dog training and it doesn't appear that you're interested in learning that either.]
I will say; that if you attend any Schutzhund trial...whether it be club level, National or World......chances are EXTREMELY GOOD that every dog out there posting V scores in obedience; have had their FOUNDATION layed with food-reward-based motivational training.
Now; NONE of those dogs are rewarded ONCE during the obedience routine......which incidently is quite long and takes approximately 15 minutes (not including the long down) to execute and performed with a good attitude, real close to what ANYONE would expect from their dog in the ACCURACY department and WITH attention.....which makes distractions something that the dog don't give a rip about.....because he's WORKING.
That being said.......corrections have an absolute place in dog training......but; it has been proven over and over and over again that it's NOT in the "teaching phase" of obedience......but rather in the PROOFING phase.
How is this proven? The DOG tells the story.....on every command.....how he was trained :)
cindee.....
You still need to keep looking for another trainer......you haven't done any better with this one IMHO than with the others. Sorry Girlfriend.
