This is a question we get all the time and here are a few thoughts:

1. You should be working with your dog every day.

2. Incorporate the training around your lifestyle. Training should not just be a 15 minute session. It should be every minute you’re with the dog. Practice and train all the time. While you’re watching TV, put the dog in a “down” command. When you walk to get the mail, heel your dog. While cooking breakfast put them in a “sit.”

3. Stop making excuses for your dog’s behavior and stop making excuses on why you’re not training your dog. Just get out there and start training.
