Building your dog’s confidence takes time

Building your dog’s confidence is a process. It doesn’t happen overnight. That means that as soon as your dog starts experiencing the routine changes and boundaries that come with training, they are going to suddenly start acting like they are the happiest they’ve ever been. Implementing changes will require adjustment for your dog, you’re asking things of them that you haven’t before and their life is changing in a big way. It would be unfair to expect them to love and be overjoyed about every aspect of that. However, just because they don’t look happy in the way we think they are supposed to, doesn’t mean that they aren’t building up their confidence. It’s a learning experience that requires them to build trust in you and your trainer. And once it clicks that they can trust you, your decisions, and your ability to handle situations, that confidence will begin to project outwardly more as well.
