| Teaching dogs to cooperate with us on leash in distractions takes time, patience, and small steps. Walking down a city street or a quiet street comfortably with your dog takes a few steps. In Week 1 with Luna, we started this process inside in our our dog room. The environment (outside in this case) makes it a lot more distracting. Of course her friends playing inside and outside start the distractions. When we were starting heel training with Luna, her daycare friends were mainly asleep or in a down. So the other distraction in this video, is her friends playing of course. The video to the left is week 2. We also took Luna down the dirt roads on week 2 as well. Flags and people with phones talking in their own yards were enough of a distraction on week 2. |
