Forest, who beat Liverpool on Saturday, host Brighton on Sunday looking to pull further clear of the Premier League's relegation zone with Dyche, who replaced Ange Postecoglou in October, seeing the changes.
"I do [see them] at the training ground, but that doesn't guarantee a result," he said. "I've spoken endlessly to the players about our good habits on the training ground - they pay you back.
"So far, that's working. We've got to maintain standards and I think the players are learning that, or certainly my standards and the way I want to work.

"So you've got to consistently work hard at what you do every day and everything counts. They are developing into a group of players who are beginning to understand that more and more."
