Timing is key! If you ask your dog to do something and they take their sweet time (or pretend they didn’t hear you 👀), it might be time to tighten up your follow-through.
Here’s the deal: when you give a command, your dog is always learning—not just from what you say, but from what happens next. If they don’t respond right away and you repeat yourself, hesitate, or let it slide, they start thinking, “Meh, I’ll get to it when I feel like it.” And that’s not what we want!
Instead, be ready to back up your words. If you ask for something, make sure it happens—in a timely matter. The more consistent you are, the better your dog will start responding.
Current clients: Use your follow-up lessons to fine-tune your timing!
