What if obedience class wasn't the problem?

You're not alone.

I can't tell you how many people have left obedience class wondering if they somehow got the one dog that just couldn't be trained.

If that's you, I wrote this week's Dear Dog Trainer article for you.

What's one command your dog does perfectly at home but struggles with everywhere else?

Tell me in the comments!

Your dog isn't usually ignoring you.

They're just trying to make sense of a new picture or practicing what they have always practiced.

Imagine you're learning to drive...

You spend weeks practicing in an empty parking lot.

Then, out of no where, someone throws you onto a busy highway and expects everything to go perfectly.

You wouldn't feel that was fair.

That's often what we end up doing to our dogs.

We teach a command in one spot...

Then expect them to understand it no matter what is going on around them.

The good news?

Once you understand how dogs really learn, training starts to make a lot more sense.

If you've struggled with this with your dog, I go into much more detail in this week's Dear Dog Trainer article.

If your dog listens perfectly when it's just the two of you...

But suddenly "forgets" everything when guests come over...

Or ignores you outside...

You're not alone.

There are two reasons this happens, and most dog owners only know about one of them.

I break both of them down in this week's Dear Dog Trainer article.

My dog knows the command.

So why isn't he doing it?

If your dog will sit, stay, and come when it's just the two of you at home—but suddenly "forgets" everything when guests come over or you leave the house—you aren't alone.

In this week's Dear Dog Trainer article, we talk about one of the biggest misunderstandings in dog training and why your dog may not be ignoring you nearly as much as you think.

Can your dog relax and calmly watch the world go by? If not, that's where we come in. Teaching your pup to calm themselves is the base of what we teach with our private lesson students. Because a dog who can calm themselves down is a dog who is easier to teach and is far easier to live with.
