Sure you can teach the dog to sit, stay, drop etc., but unless you have actually been to training class yourself you do not know all the commands. I trained 4 dogs prior to the Rottweiler I have now, she is the only one I have ever taken to formal training and I can assure you the difference is amazing. Sure the other dogs were obedient most of the time. Now I give one command, say it once only and she obeys immediately. I want my dog to come to me with one word from me wherever she is and immediately. I want my dog to drop to the ground on one command even if she is half a street away from me. My dog will heel perfectly off lead and on. If my dog is away from me and I call heel, she immediately goes around the back of me and sits at my left side. How is your training going??? Getting there???
