How do you train your pups to listen? 75% of the time our dog doesn’t listen.

We’ve recently moved house, she’s gotten of her lead & ran out the front door and doesn’t listen to me when I call her name.

“Disobedience is a demand for change.”

I think the question I would ask instead is why my dog is choosing to not follow my guidance. And usually to answer that I will start with looking at what you and your dog do together to make it so your dog listening to you is something that pays off to them more than anything else.

Think of the #1 relationship you have in your life. With someone with whom you would always pickup the phone when they called. If you think about it, they didn’t train you to be that way.. but rather the time and experiences you share together got you to the point where you prioritize their calls.

What do you and your dog do together that motivates him to prioritize your calls?
