Dog Training Distraction Tips

A distraction is anything that interferes with your puppy’s focus on you during dog training. She will be easily distracted by noises, other people and items around the house which will take her attention away from you.

Use a motivator to bring her attention back to you.

In puppy class, the main distractions are other puppies and their owners. I always tell owners to bring their puppies’ favorite toys or treats to fight distraction.

Because of the many distractions in a puppy class, it actually makes a great place for dog training. It will help desensitize your puppy to these distractions as well as to new ones in the future.

When there is a distraction, move your pup away from it in the beginning, if possible.

For example, if you are training your pup near your kitchen table and she is distracted by something on the table, then move her further from the table.

Eventually, after countless dog training sessions, you will be able to bring her closer to the distraction and still hold her attention.
