#DogTraining #DistractionTraining
Ever feel like your dog knows the behavior—until there's a squirrel, another dog, or a sudden noise? In this video, we dive into how distractions can impact comprehension in dog training and what it actually means when a dog "doesn’t get it" in a distracting environment.
