I read lots of books and articles about dog training. I do try to be consistent in my commands with Gracie. However, I confess that I have been a bit lazy lately.
Gracie is a bit stubborn. If you are not consistent and…I hate to say “firm,” but I think you know what I mean…she will do whatever she likes. She just looks around as if she wants to say, “What?? Did you say something??”
This week, we have been working on the basics again. She has not forgotten them. She just knows she does not always have to use them to get what she wants.
I tell this story because it is easy to let hectic schedules take over. The next thing you know, your dog is misbehaving, and you are frustrated. You do not train your buddy a command once and expect your friend to know it forever. Consistent application is the key to success. Now, let’s get out the treat bag and spend some time with our furry friends!
