Have you ever wondered why your dog performs perfectly one moment, then seems to forget everything you’ve ever taught them the next?
One minute they’re happily taking treats, responding to cues and staying engaged. The next they’re barking, lunging, pulling or seemingly ignoring you completely.
It can feel frustrating, confusing and even disheartening.
But the problem may not be your training at all.
It could simply be your timing.
In this week’s episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, I explain one of the most important concepts in dog behaviour: thresholds.
You’ll discover why dogs stop learning once they’re emotionally overwhelmed, why even the best training techniques can fail when used too late, and how recognising your dog’s earliest signs of stress can transform the way you approach training.
Whether your dog struggles with reactivity, fear, excitement or separation anxiety, understanding thresholds could become one of the most valuable skills you ever learn.
