For Dog Owners Whose Dogs Hear Everything – Except Them 😅

The Step-by-Step System
That Turns Distracted Dogs
Into Focused Ones
… in Just a Few Minutes per Day
- Even When the World Is Full of Squirrels, Smells, and Chaos
»I believe that teaching dogs to shift focus - from one task to another - is not about making them immune to distractions. It's about helping them learn to choose a more appropriate state of mind for the moment they're in. This mindset not only enhances our training outcomes, but also brings more joy and confidence into the time we spend together - because we can trust our dogs to stay connected.«

⚠️ Heads Up
Is Your Dog Choosing Distractions Over You – No Matter How Hard You Try?
Here’s What’s Keeping You Stuck:
❌ You Expect Them to Focus Without Building Connection First.
If you haven’t built a strong relationship, your dog has no reason to choose you over the world around them. When they don’t see you as the most rewarding part of their environment, they simply move on. Focus isn’t automatic – it’s created through intentional, meaningful interaction.
❌ You Assume They’ll “Grow Out of It”.
Hoping your puppy will magically mature into a calm, attentive dog often leads to years of struggle. Distraction isn’t a phase – it’s a natural response that needs to be understood and shaped. Without guidance, your dog only gets better at ignoring you.
❌ You Believe Your Dog Is Just “Too Stubborn”.
Many owners with specific breeds use this as an excuse to give up. But so-called “stubborn” dogs are often just misunderstood or unmotivated. When you learn what drives your dog – and stop blaming their nature – you unlock progress you didn’t think was possible.
❌ You Give Up When the Environment Wins.
Instead of teaching your dog how to handle distractions, you avoid them, or let them practice ignoring you. But the world isn’t going away. Unless you actively teach your dog how to tune it out, it will always overpower your voice.
❌ You Keep Repeating Yourself, Hoping It’ll Click.
The more often your dog hears a cue without responding, the more meaningless it becomes. Saying “come” five times while your dog runs the other way doesn’t build training – it weakens it. Without a clear strategy, even your best efforts work against you.
❌ You Try to Be More Exciting Than the Environment.
But let’s be real – there’s no treat or squeaky voice in the world that will outcompete a running squirrel. And that’s okay. The goal isn’t to be more stimulating than everything else, but to teach your dog how to disengage and choose you instead.
❌ You Rely on Force, Frustration, or Bribing.
Yelling, yanking, or waving treats in desperation might stop your dog temporarily, but it doesn’t build trust or lasting behavior. In fact, it often adds tension and creates resistance. Long-term results come from clarity, consistency, and connection – not control.
❌ You Expect Progress Without a Plan.
Most owners try different tips from YouTube or advice from friends, but lack a clear, step-by-step structure. Without a proven method, you’ll keep spinning in circles – and so will your dog.
👌 THE REALITY IS:
Focus Training Isn’t About Obedience Drills – It’s About Building Engagement Through Trust and Fun
So, What Turned Things Around for Us – and for the Dog Owners We’ve Helped?
With over 15 years of experience training dogs – ranging from distracted puppies to high-drive working and sports dogs – we’ve seen firsthand how distractions impact both training and the emotional bond between dogs and their owners.
We understand the frustration of repeatedly calling your dog, only to be ignored.
We’ve worked with owners who felt embarrassed, powerless, and even hopeless about their dog’s ability to focus.
But here’s what we’ve learned:
Most people believe distractions are the problem – but they’re actually just a symptom of a deeper issue.
Your dog isn’t ignoring you because they’re “stubborn” or “untrainable.”
They’re ignoring you because they haven’t been taught how to prioritize you over distractions.
The reality?
When you approach training the right way, your dog doesn’t listen to you because they “have to” – they listen because they want to.
So, no, your dog isn’t deliberately ignoring you.
Dogs focus on what feels most rewarding at any given moment.
If running after another dog, chasing a scent, or exploring a new environment is more exciting than interacting with you, they’ll always choose that over listening – unless they’ve been trained to see you as the most valuable part of their world.
When you understand this, you stop fighting against their instincts and instead use them to your advantage.
Our approach doesn’t rely on force, dominance, or endless bribes!
Instead, we teach you how to create a relationship where your dog naturally chooses to engage with you, even in the face of distractions.
This shift in understanding has completely changed the way dog owners that we work with approach training – especially those who once believed their dog was impossible to train.
We’ve seen owners go from feeling frustrated when their dog ignored them the moment they stepped outside, to confidently enjoying all sorts of adventures.
Once they shifted their focus from controlling their dog to engaging with them, everything changed.
They no longer had to rely on constant bribes, shouting, or restrictive management.
Instead, they built a connection where their dog wanted to check in, respond, and choose them over distractions – making training feel natural, not forced.
👇Here’s The Bottom Line:
If your dog can’t focus on you when distractions are present, you’re not just dealing with a training issue – you’re missing out on the joy, trust, and confidence that come from a strong connection with your dog.
The best part? It doesn’t have to stay this way forever.
With the right approach, your dog will learn to focus on you instead of every passing distraction, making walks or sports training more enjoyable, productive and stress-free.
You and your dog will finally build a true partnership, where trust and teamwork replace frustration.
THIS MIGHT SURPRISE YOU:
This Isn’t Just About Getting Your Dog to Listen – It’s About Building a Partnership Where They Choose You Over the World Around Them.
But Only With a Clear and Supportive System in Place!
✅ From Distraction to Connection:
Instead of pulling toward every dog, scent, or noise, your dog will look to you first – because they see you as the most rewarding part of the environment.
✅ From Frustration to Confidence:
You’ll no longer feel powerless or ignored. With a clear plan, you’ll finally feel in control, supported, and proud of the progress you’re making.
✅ From “My Dog Is Stubborn” to “We’re Making Progress”:
You’ll stop blaming your dog’s breed or personality and start seeing what motivates them – because every dog can learn when the training fits them.
✅ From Chaos Outside to Calm, Focused Walks:
Your dog will learn how to stay engaged in real-world distractions, so walks become a shared, enjoyable experience – not a constant struggle.
✅ From Guessing to Structured Success:
With a system built around short, effective sessions (just s few minutes per day), you’ll know exactly what to do and how to keep moving forward.
✅ From Pressure to Partnership:
You won’t need to rely on shouting, bribing, or hoping anymore. Instead, you’ll experience a bond based on trust, communication, and mutual understanding.

This Course is Ideal if:
Your Dog Ignores You Completely:
If your dog acts like you don’t exist, this course will help you become their focus – even in distracting environments.
You Blame Training Issues on Your Dog’s Breed:
Your dog isn’t “too stubborn” – they just need the right motivation and approach. This course teaches you how to work with your dog, not against them.
Your Dog Loses Focus in Sports Training:
If your dog gets easily distracted during sports training, you’ll learn how to keep their attention even when distractions are present.
Your Puppy Won’t Pay Attention:
If your puppy seems completely uninterested in you, we’ll show you how to build engagement and become the most rewarding part of their world.
Your Dog Prefers the Environment Over You:
If your dog gets caught up in smells, other dogs, or chasing wildlife, we’ll help them learn to disengage and refocus on you instead.
You’re Ready to Stop Making Excuses:
If you’re willing to shift your mindset and take action, this course will give you the tools to create a true partnership with your dog.
We Suggest You Explore Other Options, If:
1.
You Think Your Dog Is Untrainable and Won’t Try:
If you’re convinced your dog is different, impossible to train, or that no method will work for them, you won’t be open to the adjustments needed for success. Progress starts with the right mindset.
2.
You See Training as a Battle Rather Than a Partnership:
If you blame your dog for their behavior, refuse to meet them halfway, or rely on force-based methods, this course won’t align with your approach. Training works best when you and your dog are on the same team.
3.
You Prefer to Complain Rather Than Change:
If you’re not willing to take responsibility and put in the effort, no training method – no matter how effective – will work. Transformation comes from action, not frustration.

Overcoming Distractions Roadmap
Deepen Your Bond, Grow as a Team, and Discover What Freedom Feels Like
Here’s How You’ll Get There:
Step 1: Build Connection With Fun Exercises
Before your dog can focus on you, they need to see you as the most rewarding part of their world. This step teaches fun, interactive exercises that shift their attention from distractions to you – making engagement effortless.
Step 2: Teach Your Dog to Tune Out Distractions
Once your dog is engaged with you, the next step is teaching them how to ignore distractions. You’ll introduce structured training sessions where distractions are gradually increased, ensuring your dog learns self-control and focus, even in more challenging environments.
Step 3: Strengthen Focus in Real-Life Situations
Training doesn’t happen in a vacuum – so in this step, you’ll apply recall and focus exercises in real-world settings. Whether it’s at the park, on a trail, or in your backyard, you’ll practice recall and engagement techniques in progressively more distracting situations, so your dog learns to choose you no matter where you are.
Step 4: Prevent Common Training Pitfalls
Many owners unknowingly make mistakes that weaken their dog’s focus. This course will help you understand how your dog learns, what motivates them, and what doesn’t. You’ll learn to avoid common pitfalls like overusing commands, calling at the wrong times, or reinforcing distractions.
Step 5: Build a Lasting Partnership
This isn’t just about quick fixes but about transforming the way your dog engages with you every day. By deepening trust and teamwork, your dog will naturally tune out distractions and choose to focus on you, no matter what’s happening around them.

Mastering Focus for Sport Success
It’s frustrating when your dog loses focus right when it matters most - whether in training or at a competition. This sport-specific chapter is here to change that. Instead of just managing distractions, you’ll teach your dog that the ring, field, or course is a place where focus naturally locks onto you. By making training easy, fun, and ridiculously rewarding, you’ll condition focus to be their second nature. Plus, with self-reflection exercises, you’ll learn how to tailor your approach to your unique dog - so they stay engaged, confident, and ready to perform.
Who is Chasing the Tale?
Our story
Chasing the Tale’s ideology is that dogs can be much more than just a pet if only we nurture their true potential with consistent, enjoyable, and clear training.
By ‘more than just a pet’ we mean that your dog can be your friend, your family member, your loyal companion, and more. We believe that dogs can make our everyday lives more fun and fulfilling with their happy attitude and contagious outlook on life.
Chasing the Tale is about creating stories with your dog and it is about adventure!
That being said, we should never forget what sparks the fire in our own dog’s! Always look at the dog in front of you and adapt your adventures to their specific needs and wants. The goal is for everyone to enjoy themselves, together! The adventure need not be grand, as long as you make it your own – even if that means relaxing on the sofa and watching Netflix, going to a drive-in movie theatre, grabbing a coffee in the city or taking a refreshing swim in the lake.
All in all, the mission of Chasing the Tale is to encourage more dog owners to take their dogs with them on their adventures – and most importantly, show them how easy it can be with a well mannered dog! With all of this in mind, Chasing the Tale Academy was born.

What Makes Overcoming Distractions One-of-a-Kind Course?
Overcoming Distractions isn’t just another dog training course – it’s a mindset shift designed for dog owners who struggle with focus, engagement, and distractions.
Instead of relying on outdated methods or rigid obedience drills, this course helps you understand what truly motivates your dog and teaches you how to work with them – not against them.
Whether your dog is easily distracted, overly independent, or seems uninterested in you, this system adapts to their unique personality and provides a structured yet flexible approach to engagement and training.
By shifting the focus from control to connection, you’ll stop fighting for your dog’s attention and start building a true partnership. Training becomes less about forcing behaviors and more about making your dog want to choose you over distractions – naturally and willingly.
At its core, Overcoming Distractions is about more than just your fundamental obedience training – it’s about transforming your daily interactions into moments of trust, teamwork, and joy, so you and your dog can truly experience life together.
Does Your Dog Stay Focused at Home but Struggle to Pay Attention Outside?
You’re not alone – many dog owners struggle with this. It’s frustrating when your dog responds well in a quiet, familiar setting but becomes completely distracted the moment you step outside.
Dogs don’t automatically know how to focus in different environments. If they’ve only practiced in a calm space, they haven’t learned how to maintain attention when faced with real-world distractions.
This course teaches you how to build your dog’s ability to focus step by step, even in busy, high-distraction settings. By gradually increasing challenges, your dog will learn to stay engaged with you – no matter where you are.
Don’t Like Using Food or Toys as Bribes?
We get it – no one wants to feel like they’re bribing their dog. Or rely on carrying food around for the rest of their lives. That’s why our approach focuses on rewarding the behaviour we want to see, not bribing for compliance.
You’ll learn how to strategically use rewards to reinforce success and gradually phase them out. The result? A dog that comes when called because they want to, not because they’re expecting a treat.
But what if your dog isn’t motivated by treats or toys? We’ll help you discover what truly motivates your dog. If treats or toys don’t work, the course provides alternative strategies and exercises to identify and use other rewards effectively.

»So much to learn, love watching the little videos you do and all the whys and wherefores. The way you go into every detail and explain exactly what you're doing and why.«

Does This Suit Me?
It’s frustrating when it feels like nothing works, and it’s easy to believe that your dog is simply different from others. Many owners feel this way, especially if they’ve tried multiple training methods without success.
The truth is, every dog can learn, but not every training method works for every dog. The problem isn’t your dog – it’s about finding the right approach that matches their personality and motivation.
This course doesn’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it helps you understand what truly motivates your dog and how to use that to get their focus and engagement, no matter their breed or temperament.
Life is busy, and the idea of adding daily training sessions can feel overwhelming. You want results, but you also need something that fits into your routine.
Training doesn’t have to take hours each day. In fact, short, focused sessions are far more effective than long, exhausting ones.
This course is designed for busy dog owners, with short, effective exercises that fit into daily life. Just 10-15 minutes a day, integrated into walks and playtime, can make a huge difference – without feeling like an extra chore.
Yes! No matter the breed, every dog can learn to focus and engage when trained with the right approach. This course teaches you how to work with your dog’s natural instincts, not against them.

Many owners have been in your position before joining this course. The problem isn’t your dog – it’s the approach. This course focuses on engagement, motivation, and adapting training to your dog’s unique personality, making focus feel natural rather than forced.

No problem! This course helps you identify what truly motivates your dog, whether it’s play, praise, movement, or other rewards – so training remains effective and enjoyable.
Not at all. Treats are a training tool, not a lifelong requirement. This course teaches you how to phase out treats while maintaining strong engagement, so your dog responds because they want to, not just for food.
Training sessions are just 10-15 minutes a day, making it easy to fit into your routine without feeling overwhelmed.
Yes! You get lifetime access, so you can go through the lessons at your own speed and revisit them anytime.
You’ll have access to expert guidance and troubleshooting tips, ensuring you stay on track even if you hit a roadblock. Or you can upgrade and opt in for personalised feedback.

Bottom Line…
If you’re a dog owner struggling with a distracted dog that ignores you no matter how many times you call, feeling frustrated and disconnected from them …
If your dog constantly prioritizes distractions over you – chasing scents, running to other dogs, or ignoring your calls, leaving you feeling powerless, embarrassed, and unsure if you two will ever be on the same page …
Or if you feel stuck because your dog listens in quiet settings but completely ignores you when distractions appear, this course will teach you how to build reliable focus in any environment.
This course is perfect if you want to bond with your dog and establish a solid foundation for future training, such as building a more reliable recall and enjoying stress-free, loose-leash walks.
After all, every dog has the potential to focus and listen – it’s just about giving them the right guidance and motivation.
The way we see it …
You have three options:
1.
Stay Where You Are
Keep hoping that things will change on their own. Maybe that works for some – but if your current approach isn’t giving you the results you want, ask yourself: How much longer do I want to feel stuck, frustrated, and uncertain?
2.
Try to Fix It Alone
You can spend months – or even years – searching for solutions, testing random advice, and feeling unsure if you’re actually making progress. But without a clear, structured plan, you risk reinforcing the same mistakes that are keeping you stuck.
3.
Follow a Proven Step-by-Step System
It has already helped countless dog owners turn frustration into success. Get the tools, techniques, and support you need to build a real partnership with your dog – so you can finally enjoy dog ownership without stress.
Whatever you decide, know this: change only happens when you take action. The frustration you feel today doesn’t have to be your reality forever.
The bond, the trust, and the freedom you want with your dog? It starts with a decision.
Are you ready to start?
