My usual response is to just not train. Not training will not solve the problems. It will not create the behaviors you want.
Some realistic responses:
- Find air conditioning. If you are so lucky as to have air condioning in your house...lots of tricks and pieces of behaviors require very little space. Go to a pet store and do training there....or maybe a very large vet clinic. Sign up for a training class. I had some drop-ins this week due to the heat...people wanting tired dogs and NOT wanting to risk heat related health problems.
- Train very early or very late. Tonight it was still 90* at 10PM. Evening isn't as much of an option. But I have been getting up very early to work my dogs.
- Very short sessions. 2 minutes or less. A small number of repetitions.
And... a compromise of most lazy yet really great use of time... work on training plans. The more time you spend planning, the more efficient you can be during work sessions. It's a great all around option!
