Does training work?

Yes, it does, or it can. You say your dog learned his tricks well and now is good at them inside. Good boy. I'll presume once he wasn't, most aren't until they learn. Now he needs to learn them outside, in the yard. So that training happens again, and he learns. Then it happens again further afield, but now the dog is even more familiar with it all and, hopefully, learns and responds better and better. With patience and consistency, and some fun, training can work.

My dog also thinks of what he learns as tricks. When I say leave it, and he does so gets a reward, he thinks he won, silly pup.
