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

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;

  1. 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.
  2. 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
