A behaviour is either acceptable or it isn't. For example, it can't be ok to allow your dog to jump all over you on the weekends when you're in casual clothes, but not during the week when you're dressed for work.Consistency is a bit easier for singles or couples, and toughest for families. The more people interact with the dog, the greater the likelihood of inconsistency. Families should work actively with trainers and conduct a few meetings to discuss and agree upon what will be universally unacceptable behaviour on the part of the dog. Everyone needs to clearly understand what the rules will be for a training programme to be most successful.
