• There’s a concept in dog training of the stages of trickiness of nailing some
    of the obedience stuff:

    Difficulty, Distraction, Duration and Distance.

    Getting a dog to sit in a silent indoor room for 3 seconds when you are a metre away is one end of the scale.

    Getting the dog to leave a treat in a noisy dog park, continuously, whilst you are 20 metres away is the other end of the scale.

    As you’re training “leave it,” start at one end of the scale and work your way up - always adjust only 1 of the 4 D’s at a time.

  • Remember the 5 D's...

    Difficulty, Distraction, Duration, Distance and Difficulty.
