Why Training Falls Apart Outside
Feb 27, 2026
If behaviours collapse outdoors, the environment has outcompeted your reinforcement.
Distraction increases difficulty.
But most guardians decrease reinforcement when difficulty rises.
That’s backwards.
Try This Small Shift
Outside, reward twice as often as you think you need to.
New environments require higher reinforcement rates.
When structure is missing, frustration grows.
Train Your Own Dog teaches how to scale distraction safely so behaviours transfer properly.
