Training Tips From Susan: How To Train Your Dog To Leave It With No Command: Susan Garrett's ItsYerChoice

Message From Susan Hey everyone, it's Susan, and you're about to hear one of my training tips and tidbits. These are quick, actionable strategies to help you and your dog in everyday life or for dog sport. Often our short videos with tips are created from your most popular segments of podcast episodes. So, let's dive in! Training Tips from Susan: How to Train Your Dog to Leave It with No Command: Susan Garrett's ItsYerChoice There are many reasons to train your dog to "leave it" on command. Your puppy or dog might be grabbing scraps off the ground when you are out walking, raiding the garbage, stealing food off the table or counter. It's not safe for your dog, and it is frustrating for you. The downside of training "leave it" on command is that you'll have to be there to say it to your dog for life. And perhaps one day your dog is off the lead, away from you, can't hear your "leave it" and grabs something that is life-threatening. What I like to do is teach my dogs to leave things alone by making it their choice. It all starts with a game I call ItsYerChoice because it teaches dogs to make the choices we want them to make. It removes the need for us to always be micromanaging what our dogs are doing. The ItsYerChoice game will even help your dog make great choices in the face of big distractions. You'll be able to get your dog's attention just by saying your dog's name, or any word you want to use. I've got a demonstration of how it looks in the foundation stages here in this video with my dog Momentum. ItsYerChoice has not only worked for me; it's worked for tens of thousands of my students and their dogs of all ages, breeds, shapes and sizes and backgrounds.
