YFD 187: What Is A Threshold, And Why Does It Matter?

It's one thing to teach your dog a new behavior in a setting free from distractions or interruptions. It's another thing entirely to try that behavior in the "real" world, with all its noise and color and annoying squirrels. So how do you move a behavior from one situation to another without it all falling apart? That's where the idea of working below the threshold comes in. Join Julie Fudge Smith and Tina Spring as they discuss training in lower-stress environments and how to work up to the "real deal." For show notes and more please go to: Your Family Dog
