Most of us are part time trainers , we cannot and do not put many hours per day in as would a young police dog might get .With what we have we work with and I walk and whistle command my dog everyday -he is still willful and needs threats of chastisement to act fast to command -at times .I cooked my ex wife a big breakfast today and left the dog at the door looking at us eat..With a sausage left over I called him in and fed him and then "outya go " he understood perfectly and trotted almost out-went to sit on the carpet at the door until I casually took from my pocket his Ecollar trigger -didn't need to use it and he moved outside with haste.
All training is good and you may do it right but your dog still may want to do something else "sometimes"

Goodness me, El B, is that intimidation or what...I do not want a dog to behave like a beaten cur or to piddle in an anxiety attack everytime I open their kennel door...I want my dogs to be happy rounded natures who are permitted to exercise the wonderful prey drive they have and to be my companions and hunting partners...and I would be the first to admit that my dogs have taught me more about hunting and their breed capabilities and expertise than ANY GODDAM BOOK EVER WRITTEN or about to be penned...
