DOG INSIGHTS…
The more consistent you are with your cues, the more effective your training will be. If you are using one word for recalling your dog and the rest of your family is using a different word (of even completely different intonation), your dog will have a more difficult time learning the meaning of that particular cue.

Don’t hesitate to ask for advice and guidance in order to expedite working through problem areas with your dog. The faster we work through any issues, the happier you will be and the less opportunity your dog will have to continually practice and therefore reinforce unwanted behaviors.
