And its not just the people who are experienced dog handlers and experienced in positive training. The everyday Joe Blow who takes our classes comes out with these methods working. And yes, several people in the classes have huge breeds.
Well, that is great for you and your staff and everyone who comes to your shcool. Different strokes for different folks. 3 out of the 9 dogs in *our* obedience class used them, and we all benefitted from it. Our trainer has been training dogs for 30+ years and I would go there again and again. His dogs are absolutely unbelievabley well trained. I am not going to turn this thread into *my* trainer is better than yours, and *my* trainer is more capable than yours...that would/could only be ones opinion and not factual.
