Teaching your dog manners doesn't seem to bother anyone. If someone were to say to you that your unruly dog needed to be taught some manners, you would probably agree. But, on the other hand, if someone were to say to you that you should take that dog to an obedience class, you'd probably put up an argument as to why your dog doesn't need to prance around like a sissy. Obedience is not a show. It's a behavior.
Obedience is nothing more than manners.
You are giving your dog a command that should be understood by the dog and achieve a positive response from him. You don't have to carry this into a show ring, or create a show dog. What you need to do is teach your dog his place in life and within the life of the community with which he is involved. I have had discussions with some hunters and working dog owners, and their contention is that, if you use too many obedience commands with a dog, he will not work. Obedience has nothing to do with the dog's ability to perform his assigned task.
