My partner is not always receptive to the advice I'm giving when I notice our dog isn't listening to him. When I give feedback it comes from all the knowledge I've collected through various sources and experiences so I'm struggling to find specific text or video on ways to help him.
Mostly what I've noticed is he is using long sentences to get the dog to do things like they are a small child instead of short, consistent commands. That one is easier to find resources on, but the one I'm struggling with is the timing and follow through portion. When it's his turn to take the dog out he'll start by directly saying to the dog something along the lines of "lets go for a walk/potty" and then proceed to get ready himself for 5-10 minutes before actually going out with the dog. It's reinforcing that the dog doesn't need to listen to him since he said in once (or more) several minutes ago and nothing happened.
I've tried explaining explaining the timing issue, but it's just not clicking and it's hard to find good resources because it's such a specific issue.
