Too funny! Way to go Bentley! I had the same experience with Max. He thought he had to potty only on the pad at home, so we had to rush him home a lot too. The first time he went outside, because he couldn't hold it any longer, he was so surprised when he saw how happy I was. From that day on, he wanted to potty outside.
I'm glad to hear that training class is going well, and that the trainer told the GSD person to shorten the leash.
Collar vs Harness -- My primary concern with the collar is that something like the UPS truck or a squirrel would cause my guys to run and jerk hard on the end of the leash. It only takes one incident to cause major damage. I also agree with Yorkiemom that in an emergency, it is nice to be able to swing my guys up into my arms with their harnesses.
