Fido is really tired after going through the garbage earlier that morning. Fido hears his owners coming in the door. Fido gets really excited. Fido has been lonely all day.

Now the owners come in, see this big mess, and whamo, Fido gets into deep trouble. Does Fido know why? NO

TIP: Your dog lives in the moment! If other “moments” have come between the event you are addressing, FIDO WON’T GET IT.

You need to set Fido up so you can catch him in the moment. CONSISTENTLY.

If you do it any other way, you are just confusing your dog. Many people say, sure, but Fido looks guilty when I come home.

Yes, probably because he associates you coming home with him getting into trouble. Dogs do NOT have memories of having done anything right or wrong during the day. Remember: Only In The Moment!

Association is what dogs know:

Association 1 - You come home - Fido gets in trouble-That’s the asscoiation- Hence, Fido looks scared when you come in the door. (Not because he knows he did something bad)

Association 2 - Fido goes through the garbage. Instantly he is disciplined (you set him up and have been hiding around a corner).

-Consistently…That means every time. NOW He associates going through the garbage with getting into trouble.

—–Consistently and instantly -that’s where the association comes in. So, now he stays away.

Will he meet you at the door looking happy thinking “Hey guys, I left the garbage alone today” - NO he won’t.

But, he may start looking happy because he won’t get into trouble for something he doesn’t even remember!

Stumble it!
