Can your dog play games perfectly in the garden, only to act like you don’t exist the moment you go for a walk? Whether they ignore your cues entirely or treat high-value rewards like background noise, in this episode, we’re uncovering why ‘selective hearing’ happens - and why it’s far easier to fix than you think! We’ll break down why high-distraction environments could be creating hidden pressures, plus a few simple shifts to build effortless focus out and about. We’ll also share some simple strategies for flipping your dog’s attention back to you that you can start today, and a clever way to bridge the gap between your calm garden and the busy real world!
