The best skill you can teach your dog NOW is...
✨TOUCH!
This skill allows you to get the attention/focus of your dog, get your dog next to you in any situation that you may need it. For example: You can ask for a "touch" to get your dog in the car, or get your dog on the scale at the vet.
A cute trick but with MANY real world applications!
TO TEACH IT:
STEP 1: Take a stinky treat and rub it in the palm of your left hand. Hold the actual treat in your right hand.
STEP 2: Offer your left palm to your dog. Your dog will smell and come closer to your hand. As soon as their nose touches your hand, click or give verbal marker (like "YES!") and offer them the treat in your right hand.
STEP 3: Repeat 5 or more times without any verbal cues. Reward each time.
STEP 4: Once your dog replicates the behavior at least 5 times with no cues, offer your palm and say "touch". Continue rewarding and practicing! 🐾
Does your dog know "touch"?
