A common parameter in training plans, distance refers either to how far away you are from your dog or how far away you and your dog are from something.

Distance is one of the three Ds of dog training, alongside Duration and Distraction. Together, these are the three main ways to gradually increase the difficulty of any behavior. It is important to only increase one D at a time to set your dog up for success!

In the app, Distance goals are represented with a double-headed arrow icon.
