What is Proofing in Dog Training?
Proofing is a critical step in dog and puppy training that takes behaviours beyond the basics and turns them into reliable obedience you can count on in the real world. It means practising a command or skill in a range of environments, situations, and distraction levels so your dog understands that the cue applies everywhere - not just at home.
