To keep them focused on you when they are worried about everything that’s going on around them. One really great skill is getting your dogs eye contact on you instead of your dog worrying about what is going on around them.

To do this exercise make sure that you are inside where there are fewer distractions.

Stand in front of your dog, as soon as your dog looks up and makes eye contact with you, say yes and reward with a treat. You just stand there and don't move or say anything to your dog. Your dog has to look up at you on it's own.

Repeat this for 10 times. Standing in the same spot with your dog in front of you.

Next try to move around in the house and stop and wait for your dog to look up at you. As soon as your dog looks up say yes and reward with a treat.

Once you are doing well with this in the house you can try going outside with your dog at home in the yard or driveway with your on a leash. Again, stand in one spot and wait for your dog to look at you. As soon as your dog does reward with a treat. It might take a little longer for your dog to look up at you outside because there are more distractions.
