Overcoming Distractions while Puppy Training Conquer distraction-based training with thought out steps What sets your puppy off? How can you install an off switch in advance of that situation? Teaching your puppy to do nothing is vital.  Picture having a chill kid on a long plane ride. Increase the power of the tone of your voice.  In the Champion Puppy Training System I teach my clients to be intentional with your verbal communication including praise both when you are formally training your puppy, but even more importantly keeping that same level of intentionality of verbal communication in mundane situations. What’s your end goal? Chart out how you are going to get from where you are at today to where you want to be. Are you seeking out education on your end?  If you’re not growing yourself, then you can’t grow your puppy. Are you getting creative in mixing up how and where you train your puppy?  The distractions and results should be getting higher and higher while the rewards and guidance are getting lower and lower. That’s how you know your technique and approach works.  Training puppies around distractions has a residual payback in that they are that much better in low level distraction environments (i.e. around your home). Starting points…actually getting traction.  Start small… simply consuming food while sitting. You only need to get to the tipping point once regarding a certain level of responsiveness or conquering your puppy’s focus or ability to let things go around distractions.  After that it should be so much easier, just routine or just maintenance.  Either way, it won’t be the calculated, working up toward process that you will have to go through to get to that initial tipping point…that traction point.   Start at your puppy belly’s, then it’s mind then it’s heart.    Motivation makes up for sloppy coaching. Manager can compensate for the coach initially.  Want the free app, or to check out my amazon store or more info on the Champion Puppy Training System online/app based course?
