It's January—goal-setting season is here, and if you're like many dog owners, you're ready to tackle your pup's behavior challenges once and for all. Though let's be honest, your dog probably thinks their New Year's resolution is to alert you to every squirrel within a five-mile radius.
Traditional dog training models often leave owners overwhelmed with information and little ongoing support, making it hard to implement techniques consistently. While traditional weekly sessions can be helpful, research shows that just 10 minutes of daily training produces better results. (That's way less time than you spend planning your routes to avoid that one neighbor who always walks their three off-leash dogs!) In my recent article for BAY WOOF, I explore why shorter daily training sessions are more effective than hour-long visits and highlight the importance of accountability, personalized guidance, and steady practice.
This year, turn your resolutions into reality. Start building meaningful progress with your dog through consistent, short training sessions. Because let's face it—your dog's current strategy of barking at delivery trucks isn't going to make them leave any faster.
