Wish I had the answer to this. At least one that wouldn't take me 3 days to type. She will often say she is going to do something just to appease me...perfect example...training our Blue Nosed Pitbull Daisy. I paid a few hundred bucks for a couple classes. Daisy picked everything up quickly. Know from past experience if you stop training will only be a matter of time before bad behaviors return. Last training session was last winter...last time Ernie trained her at home was....that morning. Have mentioned Daisys bad behaviors at least a dozen times..."I know I need to work with her, I promise I will get to it". Never happens during the day, we have dinner...Ernie is physically exhausted, hits the chair, Daisy snuggles in and they sleep til I wake her up to feed the dogs. They eat, back to sleep in the chair. I mention to her that perhaps if she were to exercise she would have the energy to not have to spend the evenings passed out..."I KNOW DOUG, GET OFF MY BACK"...
