I know I know, "perfect" is too big of a word, but it gives an idea to where I am aiming (and I know it is an ever moving carrot)
the thing is I just have taught some things to my dog in this past months.
For now, he knows to sit and give the paw. The last one he recognizes by hand signal more than key word, but I am introducing key word.
My question is how do I make my dog do what I told him even when he already knows? What I mean is that he generaly does sit when I give him the command, but if he is lied down in the floor tired, he won't sit once at my command.
I would like to fix that. It's not that I want to bother him every time he is resting or anything like that, it's just that I would like to know I can trust in the comman.
I haven't much trained distractions yet, cause first I want to train that when I say sit, he SITS. Once he does this at least better than now I'll put bigger enphasis on distraction training (as said, I am doing some of it) but for now my main concern is the one expressed: that he does the command immidiately always that I give it to him.
Advices?
