Max

Max was adopted about 2 month ago by family with two dogs.
Max went through training with his previous owners and now his new parents have brought him to refresh his training. We have been practicing all of the obedience commands including “Give it”.

The Give command
- The dog should forfeit whatever it has to its owner or handler.
To teach this command:

a)

The Give Command step a)

Give the dog a toy.

b)

The Give Command step b)

After the dog has taken the toy in his mouth, show him a food treat or favorite toy in your left hand.

c)

The Give Command step c)

Place your left hand under the item in the dog’s mouth.

Say “Give” – to get the treat the dog has to release the toy.

d)

The Give Command step d)

Take the item the dog had in its mouth and give it the treat, or favorite toy, saying “Good, Max, give”

Repeat this exercise with different items until the dog understands that “give” means

release the item into your waiting hand.
