I do not use a clicker - hated it - or treats or toys in training. I do not withold food, I do not use prongs or chokes or pinches. I do not push rears down but I do place a hand on the ass end when I ask them to sit initially. So do you walk around and wait for the dog to do something. Then give the command. For instance, the dog starts to sit. Do you then say sit. So after enough 'repeatings' as Bernhard would say. The dog associates the asking with the action?

Is it because if it doesn't you will tug the leash? Reguardless of what type of collar you have on it is still a correction. Some dogs will just work happily for praise, but those dogs are few and far between...
