Does your dog LOVE to go after your socks, favorite pair of shoes or even 💩?!

“Leave It” is a command that can be used to quickly PREVENT dogs from going after these items BEFORE they actually pick it up.

Since you’re essentially trying to stop a dog in that split second before they try to go after something undesirable, a lot of people tend to make one of the following two mistakes in the heat of the moment:

1. They yell “LEAVE IT!” in a negative tone and focus their energy into the item they want their dog to avoid.

Dogs sense and react based off your energy and body language. If you’re tense and focused intently on that slipper you want them to avoid, many dogs will become even more interested in that object... so keep your cool! Find a reward that your dog will love more than whatever you’re going after and reward him when he leaves that object! I’m a huge proponent of being more motivating than whatever your dog is trying to get at and employing patience!

2. They don’t give a reward after the dog obeys the “Leave It”

This is sooo important! Guys, if you are able to redirect your dog’s attention from an extremely motivating object while they are locked in on it, then that is a HUGE win and you need to praise the crap out of your dog for that!!! It’s human nature just to be RELIEVED that your dog didn’t go after that 🧦, 👠 or 💩, but the more you praise desirable behaviors like this, the quicker your dog will learn right from wrong!

I recommend starting with this basic method so that your dog can get a basic understanding of what “Leave It” means before moving on to “real life” scenarios, like chasing after that annoying squirrel in your front yard.

Here’s how to teach a dog to “Leave It”:

1. Have your pup start in the down position

2. Put the object on the ground (covered by your hand, or uncovered, depending on the difficulty level he is at)

3. Tell your pup to “Leave it”

4. Once he looks at you, tell him “Yes” and reward him with a treat from the other hand

5. Remember it is important to practice this so that he thinks: “If I leave this, I get something better”
