Remember that prevention can come in the form of a leash, a crate, or a gate—anything that keeps the dog from practicing the wrong behavior while you teach her an alternate response.

Taking It on the Road

Get your dog to respond to all of her commands in new environments by training her everywhere. This will lead to generalization; the dog will be able to perform the behavior regardless of the distractions. Dogs need your help to get them on track in new environments.

The best way to help a dog whose behavior falls apart in a new environment is to go back to kindergarten. Help the dog perform the behavior with a treat or toy as a lure. The idea is to drill the dog for five to ten repetitions to get her working again and then wean her off of the extra help. Repeating the command when the dog is obviously too distracted to hear what you are saying is not teaching the dog anything but how to ignore you. With a little patience and practice, it won’t be long before your dog understands that her training works everywhere, regardless of the distraction.
