What your dog’s behaviors reveal about your repeated requests
Frank doesn’t obey no matter how many times you say “sit, sit, sit!” ! You’ve been repeating it for 2 minutes, but nothing happens! Would you be impatient?
Yelling at your dog a series of commands without giving him the time to take action is a sign of great impatience.
It’s exactly the same when you ask a friend, “Hey, how was your day, what did you do, seeing this show on TV?” Without waiting for him to answer.
Your dog doesn’t even have time to process the request, which you are already asking! In addition, you create a glaring lack of consistency. This is because by repeating yourself, you are teaching your dog to do what you ask him to do at the end of your repetition.
So don’t think your dog is disobeying you anymore. What your dog’s behaviors reveal is your inconsistency!
