Puppy Training Tracker

​    Dogs are context specific. Meaning if you only practice down in your kitchen that is the only place your puppy will go into a down. In order for your dog to generalize a command like down you must move the command. Once you have learned down in the kitchen you have to teach it in your living room, family room, bedroom, outside, etc. When you move the cue to different areas you pup will generalize so when you ask for a down he will know exactly what you mean. Once you generalize the command you must then start with using the commands during distractions like when someone is walking by or when a loud truck is rumbling down the road.  Training Tracker printable
