i know the owners of the beagle asked about using a harness and the trainer said it wouldn't work. Well, we are using harnesses and it's working!!! Dogs aren't stupid. We don't need to hurt them to make them do what we want. They will learn without being choked
that is good news. I am glad you are using the harness.
Hopefully the others in the class will try it too..
You are right , dogs are not stupid and they do not learn by force . That only makes them fearful.
I am glad the class is working out for you...
