| Silly, Smart, and NAUGHTY! I was just trying to work with Bailey on "leave it" training. I put one treat in my hand and then placed one on my leg and told her "leave it". The first time she snatched it away, but the next 2 times she did leave it and waited patiently in a sit until I gave her the reward treat in my hand. However, the second time she took advantage and as soon as she got the reward she also lunged over and snatched the treat off my leg! Little rascal. Any suggestions on teaching this? Or what to do when she steals? I said no and stopped training at that point. She REALLY needs leave it and drop it because she is so naughty with rushing over as soon as anything drops, and with running away.

| http://www.loveyourdog.com/touch.html • First find 2 treats that your dog likes. Then take the treats and your dog over to a place • Put one treat in your pocket and set theon the floor or to a low table like a coffee table. other on the floor or table right in front of your dog's nose. • As you set this treat down, you'll notice that your dog is staring at it and drooling. As you set it down, say, "Leeeave It" very slowly and firmly, but in a normal voice. Keep your hand right there. If your dog leans in to get it, just cover it with your hand and repeat, "Leave It" Wait just a few seconds, then grab the treat and praise your dog wildly telling him what a good dog he is. Then, give him the second treat you have brought as a reward. Don't give him the food he is learning on. • Repeat this game several times a day, just for a few minutes. As your dog starts to understand what "Leave It" means, you may begin to move your hand away just a little bit farther each time. Eventually, you should be able to leave a treat on the table, sit in your chair, and be able to trust that your dog will leave it alone. |
