Episode YNP #098: Why Your Dog Isn’t Listening
Why your dog isn't listening depends on a bunch of factors including what your asking them to do, where they are, what you've taught them previously, and more.It's one of the most common questions I get but it's also one of the hardest to answer. I usually need ALOT more information. From my experience, I've narrowed it down to 5 reasons. They are not mutually exclusive. In fact, chances are it's a blend of a few reasons. The five reasons are:You haven't taught them what you're asking for.You skipped some steps in their training.You haven't practiced in this environment.They've already learned they don't have to listen.Today is just not the day. Once we can pinpoint the reason (or reasons) we can start to figure out what to do next. Enjoy!In this episode I talk about:Expectations you should have for puppies.The five reasons your dog is not listening. Examples of each reason.How to tell which reason your dog isn't listening.What your next step is.Enjoying this podcast? Please rate and review it wherever you listen.
