"Leave It" - Dog Training Tips by Carol Tharnish


To teach the dog to, "Leave It!" (things he/she can't have):
  1. Put the dog on a leash
  2. Throw a treat on the ground
  3. As you pass by, say "Leave It !"
Do this a few times a day for about a week. When the dog looks to you after hearing, "Leave It!", give him/her a treat from your hand.

At the end of the training session, be sure to pick up the 'no no' treat and praise the dog.

This exercise will come in handy for lots of things!

  1. When will the dog classes start again, Carol? How about the dog park poll?
