Today, I want to talk to you about consistency in your training when you are training your dog or any animal

You have the people that you trust the most and that you're bonded to the most are usually pretty consistent

If somebody is inconsistent or changes what they say or it can be really, I'm hard on a relationship

You never know what to expect and inconsistency can cause stress in a relationship including one with an animal or your dog, which whatever you're working with

So when you are doing any kind of training, make sure you're consistent

So if you're training sit and your make sure you always say the same word for the York you

So, if you want to use the word, sit, make sure you say sit over and over a real common place that people don't know aren't always

So, they may say for down, To lay on their belly, they may say, down or lay down, or lay down, or down down different varieties of it

And that can be a little confusing to your dog because lay down and down sound very different

So now they're dog doesn't know where they supposed to lay on their stomach

Are they supposed to have all four feet on the floor? So you want to make sure you're consistent across the board

So I might use off and stuff for jumping up and down for laying on your stomach so that it's very consistent

Sometimes people, when they're practicing recall, they'll say come sometimes

He'll say come here or come on over again, those things can be confusing for your dog

You also want to make sure that your rules of the house are consistent

So if you never want your dog to be on the couch, you need to make sure you teach them to be on the ground if you do

But if you want them off the couch for a specific reason, you need to have a word

You can't just expect that they'll know when they're allowed to be on the couch and when they're not, sometimes people will teach their dogs that they can lie on a couch, if there's a blanket there

So they'll have a specific blanket and that they invite the dog to lay on the couch, on that specific blanket

And then, if that blanket is not there, the dog isn't allowed to be on the couch at that time

So regardless of what your training and what your teaching is important to be consistent, it's consistent with your behavior consistent with your expectations and consistent with your choose

Whether verbal or if it's a body language Q, regardless of whatever it is being consistent, will not only help you be more

I'm, the dog will know what to expect, but they will also help build your bond

When we get a lot of places where things aren't consistent, it can create anxiety and worry and why do that to your animal? If you can just practice your behavior of being Assistant

So hopefully that helps you as your training if you're having some training problems, look at and see if you're being consistent and being very clear because after you're not always doing the same word of the

same hand signal your dog, may not know or your animal may not know what you're talkin about

I hope that this helps eliminate any problem and I'll see you in the next video
