As a dog behaviour consultant, it\u2019s something I hear every day\u2026 \u201cMy dog is stubborn on walks, he stops to sniff everything\u201d, \u201cMy dog is so stubborn, he won\u2019t eat that expensive fancy food I bought for him\u201d, \u201cMy dog is so stubborn, he knows he\u2019s doing something wrong but he won\u2019t listen\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Insert 100 other examples here)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And every time, I internally cry and scream. Because we\u2019re misreading our dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dog isn\u2019t stubborn. They either do not understand what you\u2019re expecting of them or they can\u2019t do what you want for XY reason or they are desperately trying to tell you that what you offer just does not work for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t understand the WHY behind the \u201cno\u201d, you\u2019re not going to be able to communicate properly with your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy dog is stubborn, he wants to stop to sniff everything on our walks\u201d.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Well, Mother Nature gave your dog this amazing super power and Doggy knows how to use it for their own satisfaction\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe YOU see \u201ctaking a walk with Doggy\u201d like \u201clet\u2019s walk 500 miles\u201d but THEY are more interested in sniffing every inch of that street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why it’s so important that you understand and meet their needs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe Doggy knows that once he\u2019s done peeing and pooping, your turn around and go back home. So if we stop everywhere, we won\u2019t go home and you won\u2019t leave me alone to go to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our dogs are oblivious of the reality to our Human life: leaving the house to go to work to make some money to pay your kibble and vet bills? What do you mean??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not saying \u201cQuit your job and spend your time with your dog, and who cares about money?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just that it\u2019s easier for us to try to understand their point of view and go from there.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cMy dog knows this cue, but he\u2019s stubborn, he won\u2019t listen\u201d:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Are you sure you trained your dog to respond to that cue in that specific context?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Doggy is able to come when you ask them in your quiet living room, that\u2019s great! But doing it in a busy park, with dogs running everywhere and a squirrel on each tree, it\u2019s a completely different game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a bit like being able to swim 50m in less than 50 seconds in your swimming pool. No one will expect you to achieve the same time in the ocean on a stormy day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to proof your training, by slowly adding difficulties in a controlled environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy dog so stubborn, he won\u2019t eat the crazy expensive food I bought him\u201d:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Well, let me tell you that if you invite me for dinner and thought you\u2019d please my French mouth with expensive champagne and caviar, you will think I’m stubborn too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a matter of taste and personal preferences!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expensive (or not) is a Human conception. Doggy has no idea that you had to sell a kidney to buy this kangaroo raw food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe he doesn\u2019t like kangaroo. Maybe he just liked it last month when he stole your friend\u2019s dog\u2019s meal when you were visiting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe he\u2019s in pain and eating makes it worse. Maybe something is wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dogs are hedonist and opportunist creatures!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They naturally do what works for them and enjoy the opportunities that life offers them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, of course, if you want to turn right but it smells like chicken on your left, your dog will choose left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He isn\u2019t stubborn to not follow you, he\u2019s just doing what works for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asking them to act differently as soon as you want them to, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair and it\u2019s definitely not realistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re defintely not trying to be the alpha, that myth has been debunked a long time. If you still have doubts about it, recommend Bary Eaton’s book Dominance in dogs: fact or fiction<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, saying \u201cmy dog is stubborn\u201d is ignoring the real message that your dog is trying to tell you and missing out on an opportunity to communicate with your dog. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I completely agree that sometimes we don\u2019t have a choice, we need to \u201cforce\u201d our dog to do what we need them to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because we need to go home, because we need them to stay close to us, because we have to take them to the vet even if they don\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But acknowledging what your dog is telling you and trying to see things through his eyes will help you build a real connection with your dog. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And that\u2019s a key to a strong relationship based on mutual understanding and respect, in which your dog will follow you anywhere, out of trust and love, not fear and frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you struggle with some behaviours that you qualify as stubborn, reach out and schedule a session with me. I’m only an email away! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
