dog training, all day every day.
I'll take advantage, if you don't mind. I need help specifically with obedience training.
I adopted my dog from the local rescue last year. She's a two year old mixed breed, I'm thinking a rottweiler/bernese x golden retriever. As far as I can tell she's had no formal training.
She's an absolute doll and I love her to bits, but she's as stubborn as a mule and when she's committed to disobedience I can't get her to focus on me. Do you have any tips on routines I could try with her, or any resources I could look at?
I'm not a dog trainer, but when I was a kid I was the only one our rottweiler would listen to 100% of the time if I called him.
When you call her, are you like maybe somewhat anxious or uncertain that she'll listen? I know it sounds like a catch 22, but I feel like when my parents called our dog they had like this anxious expectation that he would just go do what he wanted anyway. When I called him I felt, and he responded, as though he simply would come as I was expressing that he needed to.
But like, I also didn't really care what he did in terms of dog stuff? Like, I wasn't trying to get him to go a particular place all the time and I didn't ask a hell of a lot, so I don't think there were as many opportunities for waffling and confusion. My commands tended to just be like, come here or go to a specific person (because he'd ignore their calling), or go lay down.
Again, I'm not a dog trainer and the one here can certainly correct me if I'm way off, but for me it was mostly about confidence and not waffling, I think.

D&D and TTRPGs in general.
Board games toa lesser extent but I'm broadening that knowledge quickly.
This post made me realize my interest in homelab stuff isn't particularly interesting lol. As for niche stuff, I like old Minecraft trivia despite not really being in love with the modern game anymore.
