step 3
Say “Get it!” and toss the treat about 1-2 feet away from you with some animation.

Why is this game helpful?
To help teach loose leash walking.
To gain your dog’s attention in new and distracting environments.
To burn off excessive energy with a fun and lively game.
To help practice recall by building anticipation to come back to you.
To create a positive association for situations that might frighten or upset the dog.
Tips!
Use pea-sized high value treats that your dog loves such as meat or cheese.
Make sure you use treats that are easily visible to your dog. On a flat surface such as hardwood flooring or asphalt (that way there’s minimal treat searching!)
Keep your dog on a leash for safety and management, but do not use a very short leash - you want the dog to be able to move around freely!
