"Under" tutorial! How to protect your dog in public.
This skill uses your personal space to provide a barrier for your dog. We use it often at the park, restaurant patios, and the vet.
Step 1: lure your dog under your legs with high-value treats, rapid-fire reward to the ground, then release before your dog gets up
Step 2: increase the duration between treats and practice both directions
Step 3: add in the verbal cue "under" right before your hand signal and begin to treat higher (to the mouth)
Step 4: when ready, start over at step 1 in new environments with increased distractions. Begin reinforcing calmer behaviors.
