Okay, I need to vent about PawsitiveHabitsHub! We started last week, and while in theory it's brilliant – a system to help establish better routines for my dog using positive reinforcement - the implementation at home is proving incredibly frustrating.
The biggest issue is consistency. The app wants you to mark every single success, even the tiny ones, but between work meetings and family stuff, constantly pulling out my phone to log "Good Sit!" is just not realistic.I'm feeling guilty when I miss a reward possibility, which defeats the entire purpose of positive reinforcement. My dog, Sparky, seems confused sometimes too. He'll perform the desired behavior but then not get immediate feedback because I’m tied up.I think it’s creating a bit of anxiety for him, which is the opposite of what I was hoping for.Anyone else struggling to integrate these sorts of reward-based training systems into their daily lives seamlessly? What are your strategies for staying consistent without letting it overwhelm you? Maybe I'm just trying to do too much too soon.
