nahhh... it doesnt work that way. I also try dragging them out of the house by their
leash to teach em not to cross the threshold. when I say "heeL" they fall right in
next to me and they are always a good dog. and I drag them but never say their name.

This is not good, teaching them it's bad to follow your lead. Try
mouse traps, immediate and virtually harmless reinforcement.
