While a dog may settle reliably and quietly at home, the same behavior may appear to be entirely forgotten in a bustling caf\u00e9 or brewery surrounded by people, other dogs, loud noises, and enticing aromas.

Before you begin to train with distractions, first ensure that your dog can perform the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/karenpryoracademy.com\/teach-settle-on-a-mat-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">settle behavior<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fluently at home (don't forget to train in different rooms of the house to help your dog generalize the behavior). Once your dog is skilled with this behavior in a controlled setting, gradually introduce and reward him for maintaining his composure amid distractions that mimic real-world scenarios.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this video, KPA CTP Amber Quann is teaching a guardian and her dog, Penny, how to achieve a reliable settle behavior in a brewery setting. Amber starts by introducing common distractions, such as someone pulling out a chair or walking nearby, while the guardian rewards Penny for staying calm and focused. As Penny learns to associate staying on the mat amid distractions with a rewarding experience, Penny\u2019s guardian practices disengaging from Penny by taking a sip of a drink or engaging in conversation with a dining companion. This exercise teaches Penny that when her guardian is engaged in other activities, she can stay relaxed and settled on her mat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teach your dog to go out and about safely in any environment with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/karenpryoracademy.com\/live-classes\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raise the Bar: Reliable Dog Behavior Anywhere<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Amber Quann.
