I just reread the thread and see your a dominance theorist. So i already know what kind of circle this will go in...
If you genuinely want help with your problem dog. Feel free to pm me
otherwise i must assume this will go like most other discussions i have with dominance theorists, and dont care to participate in such silliness
My dogs have dealt with far more severe and complicated issues than "marking a couch" or being a "big pushy dog" which were fixed without PP. I do not need to defend my lack of use of it, to som'one who is so adament its necesary
Once again if you genuinely want help feel free to contact me
Otherwise good day
