We often hear the comment that \u201cI wish my dog would be as good as that\u201d. Our answer is always, it can, with work and consistency! Steadiness doesn\u2019t come from expecting skills in one area, but then letting it all out the window when we have company or take the dog in a public place. You must teach the dog that you expect the same behavior, no matter where you go or what distractions are around you.<\/p>\n
Steady Teaching a dog to be steady also requires us, as the trainer to be steady as well.\u00a0Constant. Regular. Habitual.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want a consistent dog, you must be consistent in your training. If you\u2019re struggling to teach your dog to be steady, look at your habits with the dog.
