𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚!

The New Year often feels like a natural point to take stock, revisit training and take a fresh look at what is, and isn’t, working. For example, a recall that works in the garden but not in the park, or a sit that holds at home but disappears when visitors arrive. These patterns are commonly put down to stubbornness, naughtiness, or training being “lost”. More often, they reflect how learning transfers across contexts.

If this feels familiar, you may find my article helpful - see https://www.hannegrice.com/walk-the-dog/new-year-new-thinking-when-dog-training-doesnt-transfer-beyond-the-home/
