use treats to draw the dog into your
"area of influence"..
make yourself smaller to lessen the threat to your dog while you draw
him closer to you and maintain eye contact...
hold the food treat in a way that causes your dog to look you in the eye
do not touch your dog. eye contact must be a volunteered behavior  |
I don't get it why? I don't really want to look in his eyes for 5 minutes, what's the purpose?
