The most useless thing you can do if your dog doesn't obey is to punish or scold the dog.
You need to start by identifying the reasons, which will then help establish a common language with your pet.
How to act in such a situation is reported by Dobro.Zhurnal, citing a dog trainer.
Why the dog does not obey
You shouldn't interpret the behavior as a manifestation of character. It is quite possible that the owner hasn't spent enough time with the pet or the dog is in pain.
The same thing can happen if the owner forced the dog to perform commands without encouraging the dog’s achievements; stress may also be the cause.
What to do with disobedience
Once the cause has been identified, it must be eliminated.
You can change your walking route, avoid crowded places, dog parks, and busy roads.
If the dog doesn’t listen and constantly picks up things from the ground, then you’ll have to train it to wear a muzzle.
It is also important to remember that an animal's character may change with age.
Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an examination in order not to miss the moment of development of the disease. But because of this, you cannot leave training and forget about the loads that your pet needs due to its breed or character traits.
It is equally important to find a common language with your pet, to be patient and persistent.
