This is the ultimate game for teaching and reinforcing a leave command - and it’s a great way to build value in your special training toys while listening to you.
HOW TO PLAY:
To play, you need two of (ideally) the exact same toy.
Start by moving one in a prey-like manner (fast - slow - fast) before letting your dog grab and tug.
As your dog is playing, make the first toy disappear or ‘go dead’ and quickly bring out the second toy and do the same thing. Then repeat!
To advance the game and up the difficulty, play with 2 different toys. This is instantly harder as your dog will usually have a preference, requiring even greater impulse control to play!
