Trainer number 6?

Hi All,
I spoke with Lynn, who will be auditioning for the role of dog trainer. If selected, she will be Trainer #6 (I don't count the trainer I consulted when Baron was a young puppy). Lynn prefers positive reinforcement which she pairs with not giving any directions to the dog. For example, if Baron happens to sit, he gets a treat. I assume if he happens to jump on her, she stands there, eye to eye with Baron, until he decides to get off her, at which time he gets a treat. Little does she know how tenacious he can be. When it comes to misbehavior, Baron has stamina!
Lynn offered to do a "meet and greet" in our home at no charge. Hence I have nothing to lose.
I'll keep you posted.
