Anyone else finding that the pawsitivehabitshub challenges just aren't clicking with their pet? I signed up hoping to tackle some common issues, like pulling on the leash and excessive barking.The app suggested the "Treat and release" challenge for leash manners, but my dog seems more interested in just scarfing down the treat and then going right back to pulling. I've tried different treat types and varying the pace,but nothing seems to make a lasting impact.Similarly,the "Quiet Time" challenge for barking hasn't yielded much success.I've been rewarding him for being quiet, but the second a squirrel even thinks about entering the yard, all bets are off. It's like the training just vanishes. I'm starting to wonder if these challenges are just too generic for my dog's specific temperament and triggers.
Has anyone found alternative methods that worked better for addressing similar issues? Or are there specific tweaks to the PawsitiveHabitsHub challenges that made a difference for your pet? I'm open to suggestions, as I really want to find a training strategy that works in the long run. Maybe positive reinforcement just isn't the right approach for every dog, or maybe I'm just missing something obvious.
