If you struggle with getting a release off of toys or bite objects, or if you just want a sophisticated look at a dog‘s motivation around toys via fight, possession, prey (chase) behavior, and getting cooperation (release or toy return), watch this video. Obviously,...

I appreciate you taking the time to do this. For those of us with small dogs, it is very helpful to watch you work with Brito.
There was one time he seemed to lose the treat on the rug and kept sniffing for it. My Westie is very food oriented and her nose is much too close to the floor. I avoid tossing treats and try to always feed from my hand.

Very help full as always

I now have pocket hand figured out lol
The placement for touch was just what I needed
You may want to look at the advanced heeling class that is currently running at FDSA – I talk about a lot of things in relation to improving heeling – A LOT!
Oh, oh, oh– pocket hand to straighten fronts! (Thinking hard now!)
Suggestion. Please remember when shooting video – to have the phone horizontal.
