How to Get Your Dog to STOP STEALING food Right Now! - Professional Dog Training
with Brooke Fagel of PalmSpringsDogTraining, Training Advocate

This game teaches dogs to ignore food in the home. If you do It enough, your dog will learn to automatically wait for permission to take food.

  1. Put some tasty treats in your hand, close your hand to make a fist and place your hand near your dog. 
  2. Keep your hand closed as your dog sniffs, nibbles, or paws at your hand. 
  3. Open your hand when your dog sits back to wait. 
  4. Close your hand if your dog immediately dives back in for the goodies. 
  5. When she stays away for a second or two, place 1 treat on the ground. 
  6. Gradually build up time between opening your hand and delivering the treat so that your dog has to watch the open hand for longer. 


Happy Training Everyone!
