Press Release Body = Keeping the attention of a dog while training is not always
easy. Dogs can be easily distracted, and it is important to not allow the training
sessions to be sabotaged by boredom. Making training fun for the dog and the human
alike is vital to creating a happy, well adjusted and well trained dog.



Providing random positive stimuli during the day is a great way to keep the interest
of the dog. Doing things the dog enjoys, like walking in the park, riding in the
car, and playing with other dogs, is a great way to keep the dog's attention and
reward him for small successes.



For instance, in order to reward the dog for coming, for instance, ask the dog to
come, without giving any clues about a walk, a car ride, or other treats. After the
dog has come to you and obediently sat down, attach the leash and start the reward.
This can be either the aforementioned walk in the park, ride in the car, or anything
else the dog likes to do.



Providing some kind of reward, whether a treat, a special outing, or just a scratch
behind the ears, every time the dog does something it is wanted to do, is a great
way to keep the dog motivated. If the dog knows something great is going to happen
every time he obeys commands, he will be motivated to follow commands every time.



Distraction training

When training any dog, it is important to not let distractions disrupt the training.
The dog must be taught to ignore distractions, such as other people, other dogs,
other animals and loud noises, and focus on what is being taught These types of
distractions can even be used as rewards when training the dog to come when called.



For instance, if a dog enjoys playing with other dogs, whether in a local dog park
or with the neighbor's dogs, let him play freely with those other dogs. Then go
into the park or yard and call the dog. When the comes to you, provide lots of
praise, treats and other rewards, then immediately allow the dog to go back to
playing with his friends.



Repeat this several times and praise the dog each time he comes. The dog will
quickly learn that coming means good things (treats and praise) and not bad ones
(being taken away from the park).
