Positive does not mean permissive.

Of course effective discipline is an integral part of positive training, but discipline is used by positive trainers and owners to guide the dog into making the right choices and eventually thinking for himself.

We all love using little hacks in our daily life, why not with our pets too?

Dog training is not easy, it takes time, and you should NEVER take short cuts especially with severe behavior changes. That doesn't mean we can't use a few things to make every day a little bit easier!

What is training regression?

Have you experienced training regression?

Why does it happen?

Regression in training is when you have worked really hard to train something, your dog knows it well, something happens, and it's like they have forgotten everything. Now you are back at square one.
The truth is, you are not alone. This happens to a lot of dogs and owners, myself included. It happens for many reasons, including:

• Visitors not following your training plan
• Something startling or scaring your dog
• Inconsistency with other household members
• Inconsistency with training in general

One of the biggest factors is usually when each member of the household has a different set of rules for the dog. This is why we recommend talking with your entire household (even roommates) about following your training plan and the rules you set for your dog.
You can spend everyday training your dog not to beg, but if just one person feeds them from the table it can undermine that training.

How do we fix it?

Well first we will have to start over. Make sure everyone in the household understands the training plan and the rules for your dog. Progression of retraining your dog may go quicker than it did the first time depending on the situation, you may even see your dog pick right up where you left off. Remember to generalize your training in all places of your home and outside. The more you train your dog in different environments the stronger the cue. Don't give up! It can be devastating to have your dog regress in training, but it is not the end.
