It is true, though, that dogs don't generalize well. Just because they know sit means sit in the kitchen, take them outside and say sit, and they may have no clue that sit means sit there, too. That's why clicker trainers always say "take it on the road" after you've taught a behavior. IOW, teach them to do it in multiple situations.
So, it makes sense that some dogs may think they only have to obey commands from one person. |
WOW, I had never thought about any of this!! Thanks, hunniebunnie, for bringing this up!! It's not too late!
Got to get my hubby to work with Wosie, and then maybe "bring it on the road"!!
Great thread!! Bet this will open loads of other eyes besides mine!
