i must apologise, the new trainer doesnt specialse in clicker training. just gentle based reward training.

happy to report that the new trainer doesnt believe in all the pack dominance etc.

first session went really well, wife is happy with new trainer and we are defo going to get her back.

new trainer bough this harness device that goes behind the front legs and clips up under the neck, found this excellent and simba walked allot better on it. going to have to get myself one, trainer has left me one until I can get one

This sounds very positive, clicker training is not the be all and end all of dog training.

I am glad you sound happier.

thanks, still early days yet. i will update throughout the week and then again after the second lesson.

also forgot to mention that the new trainer totally disagrees with having simba locked in the back yard for the 3 weeks that old trainer advised us to.
