## Resource

In today’s Q&A episode, Panos answers a question from Eric, whose dog listens perfectly at home but forgets everything the moment they step outside. We break down why dogs struggle to generalise behaviours, how environmental distractions affect focus, and the step-by-step process of proofing commands so your dog listens anywhere — not just in the living room. Panos shares practical strategies for building engagement, using the right rewards, and creating a training plan that works in the real world. Whether you’re working on recall, leash manners, or calm focus, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on — and how to fix it.
