i didn't feel like the person understood anything about the yorkie breed and i also don't think that you should use negative/punishment training on a yellow lab...we had a golden retriever and my dad would slap a person for trying to treat those kinds of genius dogs badly in training...they love positive training more than any dog i know of. our dog Ruger was the single smartest creature i've known and we didn't house train her or anything, she was an outside dog in a kennel, but she was a respectful dog and super smart and we'd never hit her or hurt her to make her mind, the only extreme measure dad ever took with her was very very LOW shock collar training when all other methods failed and she was digging holes (by this time she was older and she couldn't hear commands well) he only used it once or twice and she never dug a hole again, but he'd never beat on her....geez |
