If I had $1 for every time I’ve heard “but he does it perfectly at home” I’d be living the high life on a private island. As you continue on your dog training journey you will become aware, sometimes painfully aware, that what your dog KNOWS and what your dog DOES can be two very different things. So how can you make those two things match? This webinar will help show you the way forward!

Teaching behaviors and skills is only one part of the training equation. Generalizing those behaviors and skills to a variety of challenging locations is key to success, and typically much harder than initial training. Deb will discuss how to establish, build and encourage focus in new locations, and then how to then add trained behaviors to your focus sessions. If you start with focus first you will have much more success.

Topics we will consider in this webinar include choosing training locations wisely, trainer/dog responsibility, habit & context, setting realistic expectations, setting up for success, and making good training decisions in the moment.

Deb will provide you with some basic focus exercises that you can then use as the foundation on which you can build your training sessions. Starting with focus and then building strong behavior chains is the key to success out in the real world.
