Even canine owners who have all the time in the world to train their dogs have bad days and feel like they're speaking to a brick wall. Many professional trainers will most likely also admit to the more challenging times with their dogs. Sometimes overcoming these harder times is simply down to mindset.
Perhaps when you aren't in the mood for working with a badly behaved dog you hand them a long lasting dog chew and leave them to gnaw through this so that you can put your feet up. This is fine to do but the worst thing you can do is sit and beat yourself up about skipping an hour of training or not taking your dog for a longer walk.
