Description

On this episode of Barks to Basics, Jamie welcomes back Dr. Fiona Patterson — veterinarian turned force-free trainer — to unpack the 4 D’s of dog training: Duration, Distance, Distraction, and Diversity.

Together, they explore how these four pillars shape real progress in your dog’s learning journey — from building focus that lasts, to teaching calm under pressure, and ensuring your dog can perform skills anywhere, not just at home. 

If you’ve ever wondered why your dog listens perfectly in the living room but forgets everything at the park, this episode is for you.
