In this episode, Kim and Carla unpack one of the biggest challenges in dog training: proofing behaviours across different environments. Just because your dog can sit in the kitchen doesn’t mean they’ll sit in the park! Learn why dogs struggle to generalize cues and how to build reliable responses no matter the setting.


They share practical techniques like the “easy, easy, hard, easy” pattern, the 3Ds (duration, distance, distractions), and the importance of gradually working through a variety of at least seven environments. From seminar insights to stress-reducing strategies like the “bucket” analogy, this episode is packed with real-world advice for both trainers and dog owners.


Perfect for anyone looking to take their dog’s training beyond the backyard — and into everyday life with confidence.
