Does your dog struggle to focus on you, constantly distracted by the world around them? In this episode, I dive into the truth about dog focus and engagement — and why it’s not as simple as teaching eye contact or a sit-stay.
You’ll learn:
Why focus is a decision your dog makes, not just a behaviour
How engagement keeps your dog paying attention even with distractions
The real role of motivation and food in building focus
When and how to introduce real-world distractions without frustration
If you’ve ever felt like your dog chooses the world over you, this episode will give you practical insight and strategies to start turning that around — one choice at a time.
🎧 Plus, I’ll share details about my Free Training Week: Transform Your Dog’s Focus in Just One Week, running 20th–24th October, where you can learn step-by-step how to make focus a choice your dog wants to make.
