The Top 5 Reasons Your TRAINED Dog Is Still Not Listening

Send a text

People often ask me if the training sticks when the dog goes home from a board and train. The answer is a resounding YES! But... only if you follow the instructions. And only if you trust the process.

We sometimes do have folks go home with their dogs and have a bit of a rocky start. Because here's the thing. We train the dog. But then we have to train you too! And then you have to go home and comfortable and confident with everything we taught you. You're not going to be an expert right off the bat.

We spend 2-3 weeks with most dogs. We spend 2-3 hours with you. It isn't fair to think you will be confident after just a few hours with us. You need to go out into the real world and do stuff. Seeing is believing!

But we have found that there are 5 specific things that really get in the way of results carrying over to the owners themselves. Those things are:

* The owners not getting the proper training. So we meet a lot of folks that did e-collar training elsewhere and received ZERO instructions on what they should do at home. Or they received very inaccurate instructions.

* Going into off leash situations without their long line before they are ready to. You're still new to this! You need to practice and build confidence.

* Not following the instructions back home, especially the structure piece and accountability. A lot of folks don't think it's important to limit their dog's freedom or challenge them, especially in the house, because their dog is "really good". But that autonomy and lack of experience with respecting you and your boundaries will follow you outside!!

* Being afraid to turn up the heat and hold the dog accountable. People worry about hurting their dog. And that's natural! But without enforcing the rules, they simply aren't rules. And most of the things we are worried about are just in our heads. Which brings us to the last one..

* The story people tell themselves. Oh boy...do people know how to write a story! I find a lot of folks that don't think they are creative could be writing scripts for heart wrenching lifetime movies. People worry. It's what they do best. And honestly, your brain and body wouldn't be working right if you didn't. T
