As I mentioned in my last free inquiry post, I was teaching Daisy how to lie down and as with the other tricks I have worked on with Daisy it went quite smoothly. However, I am unsure if I am just surprisingly good at dog training or if Daisy is just very smart… I am fairly certain it is the latter. This week I am working on teaching Daisy to ‘leave it’, which is where I place something tempting (usually a treat) in front of her and ask her not to touch it. The first few times attempting this trick were difficult as I was unsure of how to begin but once I watched a Zak George video about teaching your dog to leave it the process became much more clear. Once I knew what I was doing Daisy quickly progressed and now knows to ‘leave it’. Daisy even knows to leave any food that lands on the floor but she does not yet know the command that mean she can go ahead and eat the treat. For the rest of this week I will be working on teaching Daisy the word ‘okay’ which will signal that she can eat the treat.
