The dog is a herd animal, and with a herd animal need
of a strong leader. A working forbid command is one of the main goal of a
functioning education.
Contact and transfiguration; a happy dog and a happy leader are individuals who never become fully
trained. And certainly; "It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks" -
but it is never too late, just harder.
You notice that the more you work with
the dog, the more susceptible contacting becomes. It is both practical and nice
with the dog who often seeks eye contact. So, let the dog "asking
permission with your eyes"; when it should be out on the search, when it
shall eat or out of the car, etc.
The goal is that the dog must obey directly
(at least almost) in all imaginable and unthinkable situations. It is not
blocked or deaf if it is not acting in your command, it is disobedient! And if
you do not have the obedience of the dog as you wish, you own the problem.
Exercise, practice and then training with great patience and much praise!
Should the dog to compete, and be judged by others than yourself, well then you
should have professional help.
