Why a dog doesn’t listen to its owner and what to do about it: advice from a dog handler
If you have those moments where you need to call your dog to come inside but he just doesn't respond, there may be a problem.
Why a dog may not obey its owner
Something in the environment may be bothering your dog and he may not be able to focus on what you are asking.
These can be any distractions.
For example, loud noises around, a stressed animal, another pet, an entertaining game or food.
Make sure your verbal and nonverbal communication are consistent.
Dogs often communicate with people through body language.
In this way, animals let us know that we are not expressing ourselves clearly or that they are confused about what we are asking.
Monitor whether your pet understands you.
Make sure your dog can do what you ask him to do.
You must be intentional about teaching the animal the necessary skills.
A dog cannot do what it is not trained to do. If you have learning difficulties, you can contact a dog trainer.
