Add Troubleshooting Tips
Advanced Obedience Training Troubleshooting:
Sitting: If your dog does not sit when the command is given, try gently pushing down their rump with your hand. This should help to encourage the desired action.
Coming When Called: If you find that your dog has difficulty understanding the ‘come’ command, start by calling their name while they are in an excited state. Reward them with a treat or praise when they come over. The key is to slowly increase distractions while ensuring they still focus on you and come when called.
Leash Walking: If your dog pulls on leash, try using a halti or a headcollar which places pressure around the muzzle area as opposed to placing pressure around the neck. Additionally, change direction frequently and reward for calm behavior. This way, she will learn that pulling does not lead anywhere and calm behaviors do.
