Towel Hiding – A DIY training game…
A great game to build your dog’s attention on YOU…
- Spread your dog’s favourite treats on the floor
- Cover them with a towel
- Wait for your dog’s focus
- Release them with ‘Go!’
- Watch them battle with a towel for their delicious treats
This could be a great go-to game because it’s so simple and every time you ask for your dog’s attention on you before you let them go wild on the towel.
Quick Tips
-
At first they may only look at you (rather than the treats) for a split second – that’ll do at first – let them go then.
-
As they learn to look at you expect them to hold their gaze on you longer
-
Then… Try increasing the fun, eagerness and excitement with ‘Readyyyyy, Steadyyyy’ and then ‘Go’
-
Try using their favourite toys instead
-
This is a good game for diggers to get into – choose where you put the treats and towel wisely though!
-
An easy daily game because it’s so simple – just treats and an old towel.
