Dog Training Tutorial - DISTRACTIONS (Part 1)
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.
Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...
Working around distractions is easier to do for some dogs than others. The key to training a dog to do anything anywhere is all about generalizing behaviors and proofing with distractions.
This is the first episode in a series of videos on building focus around distractions. While it may seem like the exercise shown here is quite simple, it must not be underestimated. Having a solid foundation and starting small is often overlooked in dog training. Just like building a big structure, having a solid stable base is critical to avoid failures later on.
Follow along with us in this series as we gradually raise the bar and set our dogs up to develop reliable and outstanding focus.

My dog is a very …
My dog is a very strong, 80lb. pit mix. He is a fabulous dog and his walking manners have improved, but, when he sees another person, he gets SO focused there is no way to break his attention. Believe me I have tried many things. In fact, when I try to block him, or shield his eyes, he is so worked up by then, he ends up snapping. I know he has no intentions of hurting me, but this is unaccepteble behavior, and besides that, he scares people! All suggestions greatly appreciated….Please HELP!!

Hey Tab!

Hey Tab!
I am thinking of buying a dog for the first time. Many people have told me that a first time owner shouldn’t get a german shepherd but they are really my favorite dogs. I watch your videos all the time and you are really an expert in dogs! What do you think? And if you think german shepherds are good for first time owners, are there any differences in getting a male or a female?
Thank you! Anna.

Hi, my dog is now 15 weeks old and when I take him for a walk, he is scared of other dogs and barks at them a bit. Is this normal puppy behaviour or is my dog anti-social?

Can’t wait for part 2, i hope you’ll include a squirrel distraction! My dog becomes a maniac once she sees one during walks and i have yet to find anything to redirect her attention to me.

I use this default attention with my dogs. Jessie took awhile (and several visits to one location) before she came around but my new dog Lucy is great after she’s scoped out the area quickly-unless of course there are way too many distractions for her to handle. That would be my handler error if that happens! LOL!
Thanks for another …
Thanks for another great video! I’ve learned alot from you and your videos with the training we’ve done so far, and as soon as it cools down (i.e. below 100…don’t guess you have that problem in Chicago!) I’m going to start doing more outside, so this is extremely helpful! Keep up the great work!!!

@PaulieDi Good to know! Many dogs could benefit with better focus, I hope it is useful for you.
@hdsheena Good …
@hdsheena Good point but that sounds like it’s a ‘high-level’ distraction. This exercise is really better for milder distractions. Distance is another variable to control if the dog is that far over threshold.
Great ideas and …
Great ideas and video. I’m looking forward to your series on this. The article found on the Smart Dog University blog (a Karen Pryor clicker instructor) helped me better understand distractions and my dog’s behavior. I know that you understand it, but perhaps it might help others. April 2009 blog

Thanks again for what you are doing for others!
