You’re not alone! Many guardians feel this way with the bewildering array of advice out there. That’s why I’m here to provide clear, positive guidance to help you move forward confidently. Sometimes you're using the right training concepts but some adjustments are needed to be effective. Other times a new approach or technique may work better. There may be stressors, pain or other factors affecting your dog's ability to learn which need to be addressed.
Training and changing habits takes time. We all know how hard an effort is required to break old habits and start new ones. Expecting your dog to completely change theirs overnight or in a short space of time is unrealistic, especially if they've been doing it for months or years. You'll need some patience and commitment. Often the amount of "training" you need to do may be minimal but doing this consistently can be our biggest challenge!
