Pawsitive Foundation dog training

If your dog isn’t listening consistently, it usually comes down to a few simple training gaps, not stubbornness. Here’s what most owners don’t realize:

• Dogs need clear, consistent cues.
Using different words or tones confuses them. Stick to one cue every time.

• Distractions matter more than we think.
A dog who sits perfectly in the living room may struggle outside. Train in easy environments first, then gradually increase difficulty.

• Timing is everything.
Marking the exact moment your dog makes the right choice (“Yes!”) helps them understand what you’re rewarding.

• Structure improves listening.
Crate time, boundaries, and predictable routines help dogs stay calmer and more focused.

Small adjustments like these build better communication, and better communication leads to a dog who listens reliably, not just when they feel like it. 🐾

This is my Board and train student Piper. She’s 14 weeks old and so incredibly smart. Not to mention she’s completely adorable. In this video, we are doing place command, when I say place she gets on the cot and then doesn’t get off until I say break. This is just our first lesson, but she’s killing it 😁❤️🐶

Most behavior issues start at home. Jumping, barking, begging, or darting through doors often come from a lack of clear structure.

The good news? Calm, respectful behavior can be taught through consistent boundaries and a few simple routines.

Here’s how to help your dog feel calm and confident at home:

✅ Threshold Manners: Have your dog wait calmly before going through doors or gates. It builds patience and teaches impulse control.
✅ “Place” Command: Give your dog a special spot to relax while you cook, clean, or welcome guests. It encourages independence and calm focus.
✅ Guest Greetings: Don’t let excitement run the show. Reward calm sits, not jumping or barking.
✅ Consistent Rules: Everyone in the household should follow the same structure, dogs thrive when expectations are clear.

Dogs are masters at reading our emotions. If you’re stressed, rushed, or frustrated, they feel it.

If you’re calm and grounded, they relax and follow your lead.

Here’s how to project calm energy your dog can trust:

✅ Take a deep breath before giving any command

✅ Move slowly and deliberately — not rushed or tense

✅ Correct, then release — don’t stay frustrated

✅ Praise calmly when they get it right

When your energy is balanced, your dog will mirror it, and that’s where real training success begins.
