Pay the moment he turns back toward you, not the third second of a tidy heel. The turn is the behaviour you actually need on a street; the position is decoration. Mark the head coming round and the rest follows on its own. When does yours look back? #dogsofbluesky

A recall that sometimes ends the fun and sometimes pays stops working. The word is not wearing out. The outcome is. Decide what that cue always buys him, and it holds even when something better is happening. What does yours think the word means? #dogsofbluesky

Deliver the food at the mat, the floor, the position you want. Not from your hand at your knee. Fed at the hand, he learns to face you and beg. Fed at the place, he learns the place. Where does your hand pay? #dogsofbluesky

Two short sessions a day beat one long one. Stop on a win, before the part where it gets worse. Most training goes backwards in the last three minutes, when the dog is tired and the human wants one more good rep. When do yours end? #dogsofbluesky

The chain starts at the keys, not the leash. By the time the lead is out he is three steps into a sequence he has run a thousand times. Whatever he reacts to first is where the training belongs. What does yours hear first? #dogsofbluesky

Every repetition makes the behaviour cheaper to run. Block the window, close the hallway, move the bin. Management is not giving up on training. It is what stops him practising against you between sessions. What does yours rehearse daily? #dogsofbluesky

Count out loud and feed on three. Every time, the same count. He stops guessing what the other dog means and starts waiting for the number, which gives his attention somewhere to go while the trigger passes. Where do his eyes go now? #dogsofbluesky

Chasing the dog teaches him to swallow fast. Put something better on the floor two steps away instead, and let him choose to drop it. The swap keeps his mouth safe and your hands out of it. What does yours steal most? #dogsofbluesky

The calm you asked for is the easy one to reward. The settle that happens on its own is worth more, because it did not need you to start it. Three quiet marks in an evening beat one long stay. When does yours settle without being asked? #dogsofbluesky

Sniffing is work. Twenty minutes of it tires a dog more than an hour of walking to heel, because the nose does the kind of work the legs never do. The walk does not need to be longer, it needs to be slower. Does yours get to choose the route? #dogsofbluesky

There is a distance where your dog notices the other dog but still takes food. That line is the whole training plan. One step inside it and you are working. One step past it and you are only practicing the bark. Do you know where yours is? #dogsofbluesky

Stop counting whether your dog barked. Count the seconds until he looks back at you. Reacting is the nervous system doing its job. Recovery is the part that trains, and it is the number that actually moves. How long does yours take to come back? #dogsofbluesky

Behavior that repeats is getting paid. Usually one of three things: attention, distance, or a door that opens. Until you know which one, you are competing with a wage you cannot see. What does your dog's worst habit actually earn? #dogsofbluesky

What does your dog do first when another dog appears? Stare, bark, freeze, or lunge? That first reaction shows how close is too close and how much pressure the moment has. #dogtraining

Barking repeats because it changes the world, the person talks, the stranger leaves, the window closes. The dog learns noise has power, so the pattern gets stronger. #dogsofbluesky

Puppy biting is not bad manners. It is teething, overarousal, or a game that keeps getting paid with attention, so the biting keeps working. #dogsofbluesky
