Congratulations on your new puppy! When we work with our dogs we first start as you did by working on basic commands at home. As your puppy gets more advanced you want to start introducing the 3 D’s (Distance, Duration, and Distraction), but only after they’ve mastered commands at home. You want to only introduce one D at a time and you’ll notice that as you progress your puppy may not respond to you. You need to take a step back with training and start as if he doesn’t know the commands. By changing locations you’ve introduced new Distractions. Introducing Distractions is usually the most difficult of the 3 D’s we usually start by working on Distance and Duration before moving to Distractions. Hopefully that helps. Good luck with your training!

My puppy is 14 weeks old. When asking for a command like come, sit, or down in places differing from inside the house, sometimes she chooses not to listen. It seems to be because she is too tired, confused, or like todays snowy walk… too cold. But in the backyard sometimes I tell her to come, and she doesn’t. What do I do at that point? Are the other reasons only reasons she doesn’t listen? Should I just ignore it then?

Side note: we are doing clicker training. Does a trick right she gets a click, treat, and a good girl.

Thank you!
