This is a success-guaranteed method of teaching a dog the “leave it” command. By being patient and shaping the dog’s behavior step-by-step, we can teach them to ignore something that they want. This video highlights the very beginning few steps of teaching this important cue. Further training is required to build on it and make it even more solid. The dog that you see in this video is Charlie. He is a friend’s dog who was kind enough to let me work with him for this video. The entire session was no more than 15 minutes. ——- Please SUBSCRIBE if you haven’t & support positive dog training! Animals deserve to be treated with love & respect. Thanks for watching!

your face makes it look like youre using a fish-eye lens
@SexySheerah Does he like toys? Some dogs prefer toys. If your dog is only toy motivated you can make the clicker be a sign for “I’ll throw a ball”. But usually it is easier with food.
On the other hand, if you go get him and offer the treat, will he take it or will he refuse it?
it work out.. thx for the video
MY DOG TOOK FOREVER and then im all like tyler if u dont leave it alone ill take away ur chew toy i blink hes gone!
you have an amazing dog
Should I stop the training session until my dog understands this command or stop whenever I think to stop?
yo, i donate my dog to you to train it for one video.
my greatdane puppy is about 3 months old and she densest know where to pee/potty. I even too her out out in the moning and evening for potty and pee but she didnt do.. i live in a apartment so i have prolem for the potty.. can you please teach me the pottpy tramming .. thanks in advance
My 3 months old GRis different. If he can’t get to his treat he walked away and lay down. Then when I tried calling him back he ignore me no matter how good the treat was.
What can I do about this behaviour of his?
What treats can i use that they are going to like and that is not too bad for them?
@mistaboing When you give them treats, give them lots of verbal praise and petting as well. The treats make the verbal praise and petting more valuable. You lessen the amount of treats and replace with verbal praise and petting. They will no longer do it only for the treats: instead, they will be perfectly happy with the praise and petting.
whenever you ask them to do a trick like heel will they think your gonna give them treats always?
Thanks this will help heaps
how long should this take until he gets the idea?
@Silverulquiorra mmm just go to that place where the clickers are or ask someone that works in there sorry if i was not the one you wanted to answer but just wanted to help
how many dogs do u have
@HisButtercup79 petsmart usually have them I bought one there for a dollar
What kind of treats do you use and can you get a treat holder at any petco or petsmart?
Thanks! This added tremendous value. You have my subscription
Where do you get one of those clickers?
@nakulchande even the cheapest clickers on amazon are totally ok… and they are so cheap you may as well order 2 just in case
awesome! thanks
what kind of pet treats do you use? I am having a hard time finding small treats that are good for training. So I end up having to buy treats that are too big and break them into a bunch of smaller pieces myself which is a little time consuming and takes away from training. Thanks, I really enjoy your videos!
At what point should one stop rewarding the dog for this behaviour? As the goal is to teach him to ‘leave it’, he should be able to do it without any reward eventually.
Great videos btw
