Training Dogs to Focus Better

If your dog is easily distracted, it might be difficult for their owners to manage not only day-to-day activities, but also obedience. In fact, a lack of proper obedience training is likely the main reason your dog is distracted at all.

Dogs who are overly alert or reactive to external stimuli (noises, movement, people animals, etc.) might add a lot of stress to your life. But not only that, their inability to focus might also heighten their own stress levels and anxiety. However, proper behavior modification, coupled with plenty of patience, can help. Sit Means Sit’s certified training experts will work with your dog using consistency, mental enrichment, and other strategies to help them regain focus and become more responsive to commands, even in distracting situations.

Why Some Dogs Get Highly Distracted

Some dogs are highly distractible as a result of genetics or breed traits. However, a variety of external factors might also influence their ability to focus, including:

  • A lack of basic training
  • High energy and hyperactivity
  • Understimulation (boredom)
  • Fear or anxiety
  • Environmental overstimulation
  • Sensory sensitivity

Sit Means Sit of Philadelphia’s expert trainers have seen all levels of canine distraction. We’ll work with your pet to instill new levels of comfort and focus that will help them thrive.

Nationally Acclaimed Dog Trainers

Salvatore and the team was great! He was on time, patient and encouraging, and my dog took to him right away. Brazzie listens to me now and does not show anxiety towards other animals. I recommend Sit Means Sit of Philadelphia to anyone who wants to provide their dog with an excellent dog trainer.
My black lab suffered from anxiety and had difficulty with walking on a leash, so I reached out for a free evaluation. Upon meeting Sal, I felt certain I had found the right person to help my Maggie overcome her struggles and become the calm dog our family has always wanted her to be. Sit Means Sit of Philadelphia is a great group will take good care of your pet!
