trust me there is nothing wrong with my dog i can stop it on the spot with a stop whistle at distance, recall it from and stop it on running brids or anything , forum members have seen this !! ,
this thread is just me debating training methods , "im just putting it out there" but no one (or you) seems to be picking up what im lying down ???

The word NO is used during corrective action...

and this is my point ! your not saying what you teach no to mean are you ? you just say no means no .....


im saying if you dont teach a action to the word no,, your only teaching a emotion ..... so how can there be no emotion if thats all you have tort ??
im tyring to debate that if you dont teach a action to a command the dog wont understand and im using no as a example as there is a negative emotion with it ,,, , but your reply is only.......... no means no and some thing smart about dogs being dogs ........................ no shit
