Why Your Dog Listens at Home but Struggles Outside (And Why It’s Not Your Fault!)

If you’ve ever wondered why your dog can respond perfectly in your kitchen but seems to “forget everything” the second you step outside…
You’re not alone. And you’re not doing anything wrong either. 

Most dog owners are told to start their training at home where there are no distractions.


But very few are shown how to progress that training into the real world - where life is messy, unpredictable, and full of exciting things your dog naturally wants to explore.

This isn’t a failure.
It’s a missing step.

And that missing step is exactly what we help you fill at Your Canine Compass.

The Real World Is Harder for Dogs. Here’s Why

Training at home is controlled, familiar, and calm.

Training outside is:

  • Full of movement and noises

  • Packed with surprises

  • Loaded with scents your dog has never smelled before

  • Filled with distractions you can’t predict

Your dog isn’t being “stubborn.”
They’re just overwhelmed by a world that’s suddenly more interesting than you in this moment.

Real-world behaviour takes real-world practice...in a safe, supported way.

Most Training Advice Stops Too Soon

You’ve probably heard:

  • “Practice at home first.”

  • “Get it solid in the garden.”

  • “Avoid distractions until they’re ready.”

That part is helpful.
But the next part...the part where you learn how to bring that training into your normal daily walks...is usually skipped.

Without guided progression, you end up stuck between:

  • A dog who can work beautifully at home

  • And a dog who falls apart outside

Not because you’re doing anything wrong…
but because no one showed you the bridge between the two.

That’s Where We Come In

At Your Canine Compass, we specialise in helping dog owners of easily distracted dogs, get your dog to actually listen and focus in public...even around distractions.

We teach you how to take the skills you’ve built at home and make them work:

  • On busy pavements

  • In parks full of dogs

  • Around wildlife

  • Near roads, cyclists, runners, kids, and everything in between

Our job is to fill the gap, so you and your dog can thrive anywhere, not just inside your home.

Whether you choose:

• 1:1 coaching

• Group classes

• Our online dog training club

You’ll learn a progression system that actually works in the world you live in, not just the world trainers stage for practice.

You Deserve Stress Free Walks With Your Dog

Imagine:

  • Walks where you feel confident

  • A dog who can stay focused even when life gets exciting

  • Real-world reliability, not just living-room reliability

  • A partnership that grows every time you step outside

That’s what we help you build.
And it all starts with one message.
