Training Challenges with Your New Dog: Tips & Solutions

I want to shed some light on a common concern among dog owners: why their new dog seems much harder to train than their previous one. This is a question I encounter often during training sessions, and there are a few key factors at play.

Firstly, it’s essential to acknowledge that your previous dog may have been easier to train than the average dog. Some dogs have naturally laid-back personalities, making them more receptive to training. Conversely, your current dog might fall within the average range of trainability, which can seem more challenging in comparison.

Another factor to consider is the age and life stage of your current dog. If your previous dog was older and more settled, it’s likely that they had already learned important behaviors and commands over time. In contrast, a young puppy or adolescent dog requires more patience and consistent training to establish good habits.

Furthermore, your perception of your previous dog’s behavior may be influenced by the later stages of their life, when they were calmer and more well-behaved.

This might lead you to overlook the challenges you faced during their younger years.

It’s essential to recognize that each dog is unique, and their personalities, energy levels, and learning styles can vary significantly.

What worked well with your previous dog might not be as effective with your current one.
