| Re: Dealing with distraction. How old is your dog...be careful not to expect too much out of a young puppy. They are new and want to see what this world is all about. As for getting attention...Nisha would do ANYTHING for food. To this day I try to always have something in my pocket...its nice to reward them for normal stuff every once in a while. It reinforces to them that if they are good they *sometimes* get rewarded. If your dog is young or learning a behavior, reward often.
