The Dog's Way Podcast: Dog Training for Real Life12 Nov 2014

SESSION 3: Learn how to structure your dog's lifestyle more.

The Progression of Difficulty:

There are three things that make anything harder (or easier) for your dog;

What you're doing while your dog does a task: This is usually measured by how connected (or disconnected) to you. For example, on leash versus off leash.
What's going on around your dog while they do a task: These are sometimes called "distractions"

Distraction theory (further break down):

Distance
Movement
Surprise
And number of distractions
How long you expect your dog to do a task

PRACTICAL APPLICATION AND HOMEWORK

Get your dog's freedom/responsibility quotient back into balance

Structure your dog's everyday life more

Here's a link to an article on our blog that will give you some things to change around your house to structure your dog's life more during this training phase. This article was originally written as a response to people who asked what to do after their newly adopted dogs started acting up, but it's good advice for anyone trying to tune up their relationship and training with their dog.
