⭐Consistency is key 🔑

✅ Consistent cues in dog training
If you repeat cues and say it one time one day, and three times the next, you are not consistent. For more effective communication and training with your dog, try to make your verbal, as well as non-verbal, cues consistent. It makes it much easier for your dog to learn new commands or tricks.

✅ Keep the daily rituals
Dogs are each day confronted with challenging and confusing situations: They have to wait patiently for their food, stay calm in the traffic while walking and sometimes stay home alone for hours. With fix daily rituals you can teach your dog that these situations are normal parts of the day and, with time, your pup will get use to these challenges as a part of his daily routine.

✅ Stay on the same page
Everyone that interacts with your dog needs to be on the same page. If you don’t want your dog to jump on people, make sure he NEVER gets rewarded for jumping. Dogs often get blamed for being “stubborn” because they are not behaving properly. The problem, however, is not the dogs! It is often seen that each family member rewards different behaviours. What is the right answer? Make consistent rules and stick to them.

✅ Dogs don’t generalise well
If you teach “sit” in the kitchen and then move to the bed room, your dog will probably not perform the command as well. Why? Because it’s a new location with new distractions. Go back to the basics and consistently re-teach the behaviour. Once you have trained your dog in numerous locations, the success in a new location will occur faster.

✅ Pay attention to word-use
Dogs are actually quite simply. They try to react to the exact words you say. Therefore, you should know that “Come here” or “Come now” is not the same as “Come”.

✅ Practice makes perfect
You have to learn patterns and consistency as much as your dog. Train your dog for at least 15 minutes per day broken down into small 2-5 minute segments. And, be consistent with your dog training!
