This is frustrating, and it's not your fault. Most owners of confused dogs are actually trying very hard. The problem isn't effort. It's a communication gap.
Confused dogs often know their cues in calm, quiet settings, but fall apart when it matters. This usually isn't defiance. Your dog doesn't fully understand what's expected of them in the real world.
Confused dogs need clarity, not more repetition. Repeating the same cue louder or more often won't fix a communication gap. What works is rebuilding understanding in the environments where it actually needs to happen.
You don't need to train harder. You need the right approach.
