they got to see a 3 or 4 year old imported dog learn some respect for his handler when commanded to out.

Nice.

Nice.
One time correction worked like a charm.
And when AC has no problem with it, why should you?

I think that the owner should be present and taking part in the training so they know what to do and how to handle their dog.

There are other options, but in the end it up to the dog's owner what method they want to use.
I don't pretend to think I have the only answer when it comes to training and certainly don't operate on the pretense that I get to tell others how they should or could train their dog.

But when you mention something like this...I mean, it's a loaded statement...designed to have one of us react. Of course I'm going to comment on it. My question: Does the dog out reliably now?

I can't count the number of times we choked Riggs off of things, or tried to correct him to out. It's an exercise in futility with a dog that truly isn't going to give up... or will eventually get fed up enough with the treatment to return the favor.
