Still not seeing progress? Here is why consistency is key

You’ve been working on a skill for days, maybe weeks, and your dog still isn’t getting it.


They understood it yesterday, but today? It’s like you’re back at square one. Sound familiar?

You’re not doing anything wrong. In fact, this is one of the most common frustrations we hear from dog owners. But here’s the truth: training takes time, repetition, and structure, not perfection.

Why one-off training doesn’t stick

Teaching your dog something once, or even a few times, isn’t enough for them to fully understand what you’re asking. Dogs learn through repetition in different environments, and they need that skill to be reinforced in lots of contexts before it becomes second nature.

Missing a few sessions here and there? Totally normal.


But over time, inconsistency leads to confusion, and confusion leads to frustration on both sides.

That’s why structure and routine are so important in your training journey.

Why Dogit is built around real-life routines

We designed the Dogit app to support consistent training, even when life gets busy.

Inside the app, you’ll find:

  • Bite-sized sessions you can fit into your daily routine
  • Structured progression, so you can revisit and reinforce skills
  • Trainer-led guidance to make sure you’re building the right foundations
  • Reminders and progress tracking to help you stay on course

You don’t need hours of time, just 10 focused minutes a day can completely change how your dog learns, listens, and responds.

Real results come from routine

With us, you’re not just “training when you can.” You’re building a consistent rhythm that makes it easier for your dog to learn and thrive.

So if they’re still not getting it, take a breath, stick with it, and let us guide the way.

Start your 7-day free trial today and give your dog the structure they need to succeed.
