Stacy explains how she uses the 5 Ds, and adds in her sixth D, discrimination. They outline the definitions of each of the 5 Ds and dive into the differences between them. Distraction is the unintentional component of the environment that takes your dog’s focus away. Distance is the amount of space between the dog and the handler. Duration is the amount of time the hunt takes as well as the length of the trained final response until it is released. Difficulty is the level of complication that the hunt entails. Discrimination is recognizing the differences between scent/odor in the hunt.

Good training requires paying attention to four simple rules, otherwise known as the four D’s of dog training: distance, distraction, duration and difficulty. Distance Simply put, distance is the amount of space between the trainer and the dog. Distraction Anything competing for your dog’s attention is a distraction, and a well-trained dog can follow cues even in the face of a squirrel running by or a sandwich on a park bench. Duration Duration represents the amount of time a dog engages in a behavior. Difficulty How hard is the behavior to learn or practice for that dog, in that setting, on that day?
