Have you taken the time to teach your dog to “leave it”? If not, here’s your chance! [Just in time for the holidays! ;)]
“Leave it” can be a lifesaving cue for your dog. It can prevent the dog from eating fractured, cooked chicken bones, moldy hamburger on the side of the road, or even swallowing a string. Many people believe you have to intimidate your dog for them to leave something alone, but if you take a few minutes to teach them the cue, there is no reason to yell at your dog for doing a typical doggy thing.
Check out this video I created for anyone who wants to work with their dog on this cue. It may come in handy this holiday season!
