Scentventure Compass Point: Partnership

This one is for when you need to move past a distraction – whether that’s another dog, a person, or a half eaten pizza crust.

Start stationary. 

• Count ‘one, two, three’ out loud and give a treat on ‘three’.
• Repeat, repeat, repeat.
• Once your dog starts looking at you on ‘one’, you’re ready to start walking. 

 Now add steps

• Take 3 steps, counting out loud as you go. On the third step, give your dog a treat. 
• Repeat, repeat, repeat. 

 What’s great is that ‘one’ becomes a predictor of ‘two’ becomes a predictor of ‘three’. Your dog will start anticipating the third step (and the treat) and focus on you from the moment you start counting.
