Sadha, my 5.5 month old puppy starting training under distractions.
This is outside my house where there are lots of distractions. He seems to cope with it well. I have found to be very tolerant and forgiving of my mistakes.
I wish I lived in a calmer town, but this is the level of distraction they have to put up with every day.
As always your comments and criticisms are much sought after.

ram , if i may . . .
for the mark to have maximum effect , now and in the future , you mark the precise behaviour at the moment it happens , and then release the dog from the behaviour .
see / induce the behaviour you want . . . mark . . . moment pause . . . produce the reward / release the dog .
you are losing the power / potential of " yes " and " good " by having them denoting the same thing .
of course the words can be / mean anything you want , but what i see in the vid is not what you are describing them to mean . example : while the dog is on the long sit outside the chicken shop , you are rewarding duration with " yes " . when the dog is on the down , you are rewarding stability in place with " yes " , plus the dog is lifting slightly and still gets rewarded which reinforces not the exact behaviour you want .
btw . . . cool neighborhood . never been to india and probably never will , so tell me , is that like a typical middle class residential neighborhood ?
