Why does your dog only listen after the fifth command? In this episode of Dog Works Radio, Michele Forto explains the critical difference between real dog training and simply managing behavior problems all day long. From barking and leash pulling to ignored recalls and repeated commands, many owners accidentally reinforce the chaos they are trying to stop. Learn how consistency, clarity, and proactive training create lasting behavior change and why repeating cues may actually be weakening your dog's obedience. Perfect for dog owners struggling with: Dog behavior problems Reactive dogs Puppy training frustration Loose leash walking Recall training Real-world obedience Off-leash reliability Produced by Alaska Dog Works and hosted by Dog Works Radio.
