Yes i know it will soon change about walking near me, but until then im trying to make him understand he does it right this way.. But im also training come all the time..for leave it i just use no..is that not good?

so you had your pup leashed all the time until he was obeying come command?and leave it? What was the result after growing?

Until Shadow had the 'come' and 'leave' commands, she was only off leash in a contained place (where I knew there were no creatures for her to chase) and on a long leash elsewhere. Now she is 3, we haven't regressed and she listens well. I only use these words as they seemed right for me - as long as your pup understands and responds appropriately, it doesn't matter what word you use but I felt that 'No' is used too often in normal speech and that she may get confused.
