Your ability to keep your dog's focus is your most important training tool. If you have your dog's focus locked in on you, you can get them to do anything and prevent them from doing anything.

It's also crucial to practice keeping your dog's focus in different environments with different stimuli (dogs, people, sounds, etc). This episode gives you an example of that process with one of my service dogs.
