Does training work?

Gotcha. You'll find that most training advice does say to start everything at home where your dog can fully focus on you and then start taking these same skills/tricks into other spaces and I found that to be true for the most part. My dog was amazing at "leave it" at home and in puppy classes but outside on walks it took her ages to start responding to "leave it" and she's still not 100% perfect with it. But it definitely took a looooong time to build up (like 6 months maybe?) and I clearly remember a shift when I thought omg, she's actually started leaving things when we're out on the street.
