The short answer
This isn't a personality flaw. It's a pattern.
Biting, potty accidents, stolen socks, and the tiny attention span tying it all together.
Behavior improves when the dog gets a consistent, understandable path to the right answer. The exact plan depends on the trigger, the environment, the dog's learning history, and the people responsible for following through.
Bandit's ruling
Stop waiting for the perfect mood. Practice the skill before the hardest version of the problem shows up.
