As for dog training - I found clicker training to be highly effective. I took Scottie to a training class (rated the best in Vancouver) and the only thing I learned was "touch" (i.e. you hold out two fingers and get them to touch your fingers with their nose). With the "touch" command, you can effectively use it as a tool for other training commands. Other than that, I learned everything else on Youtube. So for me, the training class wasn't that useful. There are A LOT of training videos available on Youtube, but my favourite one is Kikopup: https://www.youtube.com/user/kikopup

Thanks this helps. If a training class doesnt work-- I'd want a refund... I mean dropping 200-400 dollars for training classes and the dog only learns 1 thing from their methods.... That's idk
