🐕 “My dog is stubborn.”
This is one of the most common labels owners give their dogs.
But in reality, stubbornness is rarely the issue.
Dogs repeat behaviours that work for them.
If your dog ignores recall, pulls on the lead, or jumps up, it’s not because they’re stubborn — it’s because that behaviour has been reinforced in some way.
For example:
• A dog that pulls on the lead still gets to move forward.
• A dog that jumps up still gets attention.
• A dog that ignores recall still gets to keep exploring.
From the dog’s perspective, the behaviour is successful.
Good training changes the outcome of behaviours, so the dog learns that better choices are more rewarding.
💡 Training isn’t about forcing obedience — it’s about making the right behaviour the most valuable option.
What’s one behaviour your dog repeats constantly?
