Focus and Treat – A DIY training game…
A great game to build your dog’s attention on YOU…
- Grab yourself some tasty treats.
- With your dog in front of you hold the treats up near your head.
- They’ll stare at the treats but … As soon as they even glance at you say ‘YES’
- And let them have some treats.
- Try a few more times… Each time move your hand further and further away from your head.
- They’ll gradually learn to look directly at you for their goodies…
This is a wonderfully simple game that can increase your dogs day to day focus on YOU.
Quick Tips
- Be patient, no treats until they look at your eyes – but the slightest glance will do initially.
- If you’ve advanced but they’ve stopped looking you in the eye – just move the treat nearer to your eyes again. Then work your way back out again. There’s no rush.
