That's the unfortunate point. No matter how hard you try to drill it into their brains, until they can truly comprehend it - and that's something that can't be taught - chances are it won't work. That's not to say it SHOULDN'T be taught though...even if they'er acting out of pure conditioning and not understanding the underlying reasons why it's so important for them to do so, they're still resisting, and that counts for something to say the least.
