    I’ve been spending extra time with her on a 30ft. leash. I try to train her about 50/50 regarding being in a distracting environment. She will respond about 90% of the time once I give her a quick tap or two on the long leash and 0% when off leash. I use very positive praise and either a toy or treat when she responds, when she doesn’t respond I move rapidly, trying to engage her prey drive, and call her again and will apply taps on the leash as needed. I’ve tried to vary the distance of the distraction(s) but she will hone in on things 100+yds away and ignore me so it’s pretty difficult even at great distances from a distraction. I’m thinking maybe I need to take a step back and maybe work more on her “look” at me command first? Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated.
