Depending on the dog though, making you happy just doens't cut it for some of them. I got no-where with praise only training with my dog (might have had to do with a less than good trainer too, but...) yet with treat and clicker training he is great and learned more in a few weeks that he did over the course of two 8 week training sessions with our first trainer.
