Ever wonder whether your dog’s “selective hearing” is just teenage chaos or a sign that something deeper is going on? We walk through a clear, humane framework to tell the difference—using simple observations you can run at home and a checklist we use in the training room. Across five domains—learning speed, retention, problem‑solving, self‑control, and response to novelty—we show how patterns emerge and why those patterns matter more than any single bad day at the park.
