We hadn't been married long and we were going on a trip and had to board the dog . The place advertised boarding and training. I thought the training might break up the monotony of the boarding. A duck field trail place. So we sent our adolescent Chesapeake for a week. (This is like 36 yrs ago)
She came back with a perfect heel-it lasted 12 yrs! I think they used pretty strong compulsion, but it suited her nature. She seemed to like the trainer. This dog had no mental illness -- she was territorial and strong, and afraid of nothing.
We were just kids ourselves, the training helped us get a handle on our dog.
The duck dog folks are still pretty heavy on compulsion. With a Chessy you can bet on it 36 yrs ago.
I think the duck dogs are probably more pain tolerant then most breeds. Think about having to break ice to retrieve a duck.
I've had a few terriers that would do the same going after muskrats.
