Once your dog can sit consistently, start using it before meals, at doorways, before leashing up, or anytime they want something. That’s how we turn obedience into a lifestyle.
This is a very crucial moment within your relationship with your dog where you begin to plug in everything they have learned into your own environment and show them that their owners are requiring almost the same things that their teachers did!
Here’s the “BUT”!
BUT they will still try to revert back to the old relationship they had with you before coming to us
They might say “but mom, we play!”
This is where we need you to channel your inner parent and show them that NOW mom means it when she says “stay” “go” “Come!”
Along side the skills we develop, we also transfer over the relationship that we have developed.
Now, when you bring your dog home and you ask them for a command they are more likely to do it because they have learned that there are expectations of their commands—

Most often dogs have been trained to question our authority. Why is that? What kind of relationship do you have with your dog where they question who is in charge??
Dogs who have severe issues more than likely are that way because they don’t have purpose.

Your dogs purpose is to follow your lead.
