We've all heard the saying that "a tired dog is a good dog". This is only part of the story.
Some people think that obedience training and exercise are the key to making a dog well-behaved. Practicing commands for an hour each night, and taking them on long walks is not the 'magic recipe' for a well-behaved dog. They are definitely ingredients, don't get me wrong, but they make up part of a much bigger list which a lot of dog owners aren't aware of.
You're definitely not alone in this journey, most of my teams I work with now were at this same point before they started. Some have found the recipe that works, others are tweaking their ingredients
I can help you expand that ingredients list so the recipe makes more sense and you can enjoy the process at the same time.
Personally I had to find the right ingredients when Munchie was younger, we started with the sport I was most passionate about at the time but the parts didn't quite mix well together. I listened to what she was telling me and switched some things around and now she is thriving and also pretty chill for a terrier.
If you feel like you've tried absolutely everything with your recipe, just reach out and let's see what other ideas I can help you with!
