Puppy Training Week 5: Handling distractions
Today’s Petmsart Puppy class focused on the puppies learning how to ignore distractions, well at least try to ignore them! The main focus of today’s class was to keep the puppies attention while confronted with a variety of distractions from shoppers to other dogs to fish to birds to the rodents. Although the other dogs really distracted, especially by the birds and rodents, Ebony really didn’t seem to care about them. She readily followed commands while right next to the other cages. Definitely a good sign for a service dog!
We also introduced down to the the stay command. Ebony is great at the sit stay but the down stay was giving her troubles. Definitely something for us to work on.
