your opinion. which doesn't make it right.

obedience classes do work because professionals know more than amateurs.

Bah - No offense, but I openly scoff at your suggestion that this is a waste of money. I've been through several training classes with my dog, and the only people who are wasting their money are the ones who expect the trainer to actually train the dog. The trainer's job is to teach the dog's owner how to train the dog. If the owner doesn't commit the daily time required to work with the dog, then the money might as well have been flushed. Otherwise, training classes are never a waste of money because if nothing else they implant in the dog's mind that the owner is the boss of their "pack".

Get one of those trainer collars with a remote control. When you see her doing it, zap the collar. This will take some dedication from you to watch for the dog to do this, so maybe let the dog out and sit on a chair or something, and watch for the behavior.

Some people don't like shock collars, but I find them very effective, plus the dog doesn't become afraid of you for yelling at her all the time. The shock they produce kind of feels along the same lines as sticking your tongue on a 9V battery, so no biggie there either.

Give it a try.

These work GREAT!
