Jefta, that what you did discribe what you did with your dog, Oskar did in front of strangers during a wolfdog meeting and show in germany with his 9 or 10 weeks old puppy. From down to sit and other way round!
It is obvious, that a dog learns much faster in socialization time during the first 16 weeks! That is what I did with my Myla.
It is old thinking to start teaching the dog with 1 year!
It is the same with children. They do learn in the early years much faster than later.
I am sorry, I am not a friend of Oskar, but I respect his highly work with his breeding and his animals. That is why I mentioned it. And you can see it in the video with the young pup, it is also doing from down to sit and other way round. And it is not a matter of clicker training....
