I have been doing this with my 11 month old Alusky puppy every day since watching your video on this command. It has made such a difference in just a few days of work! He is such a busy pup and always looking to the next best thing so getting him to make eye contact, leave the food and listen to me has been so amazing! Your training methods are the only ones I have found consistent success with my puppy so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help in your videos!!
This command is VERY important, especially if you have a dog that likes to "taste or pickup" all sorts of things that comes across their path. A past dog trainer had me teach this to my first puppy (RIP Miss Snickers). I've done this with ALL of my puppies (Samson 14.5 and Lady 7 years old)...I can leave anything (i.e., a plate of food, beverage, etc.) in an area they can reach it --- and not worry about them trying to take/consume it.
I can never use food to train my dog, i can only use it to reinforce training. Simply because my dog gets way too over exited when foods involved and he forgets himself lol. Luckily though hes a really good boy so i only need to use belly fusses to reward him or a certain tone of voice to correct him
"leave it" was my best command with my black German shepherd Apollo. He really just wanted to please though. Very easy to train. Thank you for your teachings
With this technique I was able to get instant success with my new 2 year old rescue. He only attempted to go for the food 2-3 times before I was able to remove the slip lead and get perfect results without any more physical corrections. Time and training will tell if he does so well in less controlled environments but I was really impressed by the effectiveness.
I love your videos! I just bought my first dog and have been watching your videos nonstop. I've learned so much from you. I wish you'd do a video on how to properly use a slip lead. I bought one but no longer use it because when I did my dog was choking and throwing up! I kept adjusting it to go right behind her ears but somehow it would not stay on properly. I'm still working to train her and this information would be super helpful! Thank you, Will!
It’s been the greatest help with my puppy when we come across dead critters on our walks. He truly wants the critters but listens to me because we practice with food and toys.
Question. In our home, my older dog (at least ten years old), Lana, will physically move her body away from the food when she hears "leave it". Usually, she doesn't move far, just turns her body or slides over a few inches. She then looks to me for guidance and gets her reward. We've used "leave it" on walks when she's distracted by other dogs, animals, humans, etc., specifically to redirect and keep her from getting too excited on the walk. Is there a problem with her physically moving away from the treat when she hears "leave it" when training in our home? I believe she knows what I'm asking of her and is showing me in a very obvious way. Thank you, we enjoy your straightforward videos very much and have learned a lot.
I think a lot of dog owners neglect to teach their dogs this and not teaching this command can potentially get your dog killed I unfortunately grew up in an area where people would mix desirable foods with antifreeze to try and kill stray dogs which is wrong on its own but if you don't teach a dog the leave it command they are likely to pick up potentially dangerous items
This is also important for bird dogs you don't want retrieving. Say you pop a rabbit. Drop, leave, heel, here, woah and go are the most important skills for all bird dogs.
I guess we have a little work to do because my boy has found dead squirrel carcasses (at the park we go to what's left after coyotes eat) and there is NO LEAVING IT....BTW, a furry squirrel tail passes through just fine thank you!
I was taught with this method to not touch dead animals (I was a curious kid). To this day, I don't touch them. I lowkey want to, but the irrational "what if mom sees me" kicks in. I say irrational because she's been dead 6 years.
@@ashsharma4620 just time consuming, it's not that hard. I said that because this guy is using particular techniques to become popular instead of explaining full scientific methods. In short, my comment was made questioning his knowledge and intelligence
@@parathings it's possible, but why waste, let's say dou le the time when you can VERY easily use the slip lead to deliver minor corrections? It doesn't hurt the dog, it's akin to grabbing the hand of a toddler.
@@monsterbulgaria no, a pinch collar is the equivalent to that. The reason why is that one is teaching. The dog want to do the right thing instead of teaching the dog to avoid punishment which takes continuous effort. So in reality it takes less time because you end up having the ability to let the dog go on autopilot
good point the payment is a different piece of food

Damn that's nice, also RIP Miss Snickers😔
I tried this today with my 10 week old lab puppy and he got it pretty quickly. Thank you
I would like to hug this dog please.

I taught my cats the "leave it" command and holy shit it has saved to lives of so many phone cords 💀

Pls do a video on the best dogs with hair
Hey, love your Videos! Could you maybe do a longer one, showing how to the teach your dog the basic commands?
Keep up the good work 👍🏼

But what's the "verbal correct" if they go for the food? The same as Leave It?
I've already trained my ridgeback to do this but how do I transfer her not to take food of strangers ?
How old is the dog?
I like to make sure the treats are of a different kind

That dog looks exactly like mine and even has the same name but I live in New Zealand. My dog is 3/4 Labrador 1/8 hunt away and 1/8 border collie.
Breed?
So the dog is working for the food or for you?
I guess we have a little work to do because my boy has found dead squirrel carcasses (at the park we go to what's left after coyotes eat) and there is NO LEAVING IT....BTW, a furry squirrel tail passes through just fine thank you!
I did this with out the lead, its good when your giving him his dinner, also got him a slow feeder bowl but he's figured that out now lol fast eater.
What dog is this
What breed of dog was that? Really cool.
Black Labrador
It works great with kids, too. 😂😂😂
What kind of dog is that
Im stuck with my dog. Shes very good at leaving....as long as I'm in the room. So she absolutely knows whats expected of her. How do I sort this?
Riley look like my Sadie
What slip lead is that?
well, how about the break command?
The Walmart Eddie hall!!!! 😂😂😂😂

Jeffery dahmer played with dead animals also and we all seen how that panned out. Best of luck u serial killer u
Do you know how to not need a slip lead?
Very hard

Is that a lab retreiver???
Good girl detected
My shepard does this well but doesn't listen when she is the yard and finds something
How meany dog do you magic dog guy?
Got a bit of a Bane vibe to your voice
Your dog is already behaving so this isn’t a good example.
You tube trainers specialize in that
But.....when dog is not on a leash across the room about to grab something the results will be less than sterling
