How to Teach ANY DOG to LEAVE IT in 5 Minutes

- The LEAVE IT command is one of the MOST important things you'll teach. It is one of the very first things I teach puppies and new dogs. Getting your dog to understand LEAVE IT, also known as:
YUK
PHOOEY / FOOEY, etc means teaching it in a very clear manner.
Most people confuse dogs in teaching them leave it, by letting the dog eventually have the object that you said "LEAVE IT" about. In this lesson you'll see why I don't do that. My full length version of this lesson is available at:

Easiest leave it video I've watched 💯❗️Great job💯
Glad it helped
This is ONLY way to teach "leave it".
I love how clear you are.
Perfect body language.

Thank you so much for showing how you administer corrections, and the success that comes with it. "He can go through hard times if he knows at the end there's going to be rich times" This is a great mantra (for training).
Getting my first pup today, a German shepherd. I’ve been watching Robert’s videos for a month prior to today to try to prepare. I’m very excited. Thank you Robert for giving everyone such wonderful resources!
I love the way you reward the dog with abundant praises 🤗
I have been thinking about getting a dog but have always been scared of obedience training... had some pretty bad encounters when I was a child but watching you train dog makes it look so easy and fun... such a relief 🥲 thanks
I’m also a member of your online dog training. 👍🏻 This video is appreciated. You know, it doesn’t matter if it’s cheese or a dead bird ( 🙋🏼♀️ yes he thought it smelled amazing crazy German Shepherd!) I believe the point is to teach that “ leave it” command is expected obedience in any circumstance. I use a Herm Sprenger choke collar on all my Shepherds. I initially learned proper use from a retired Marine K9 handler. He wasn’t wrong! My 4 1/2 month GSD puppy is learning this command this week, actually. He’s learned sit/stay. Working on “place”. But making it fun. He’ll do anything for string cheese and big hug from me☺️💪🏼🐾🐾(Thank you Robert! Why fix what isn’t broken, right? Tried and true gets the job done😉)
In my opinion, this is a vital skill for any puppy or dog to have. Not only is it for safety (stop them from eating things, or chasing things), but it also helps to build impulse control. And it's so versatile, to help with many different behavioral issues.
Will practice with my girl...thanks..!!
Thank you this is one of the first things I taught my Shepherd so very important A very Big Thank you for all your videos.
One of the best right here.
VERY, VERY useful
Very informative video, thanks
You are a mentor😍
You make it so easy ... thanks from Samoa
I watched the full version on your site Robert and I hate saying this, but you are right about most females not being firm enough vocally. When I say "Leave it" then it is very firmly said. I get the ears back , tail low, sorry boss from Zed and that's just for sniffing too long . Food refusal training is essential in my opinion. It can and does save dogs lives. I understand you using a check chain here but for Pica related behaviour I find the E Collar better , after correct collar conditioning ,plus no vocal intonation issues. Great video , thank you Robert : )
I've got a rescued Carolina Dog who I've never been able to teach this, but I've never tried this method.
Going to use your method Robert. Great breakdown.
Interested to hear your results.
@@RobertCabralDogs My Boxer is now 3 years old. I have spent a lot of time on training her. She will sit, leave it , fetch, knows the names of over 10 of her toys...she picks quite a lot of items up from the floor and puts them in my hand...and will go lay down on command, and at times on her own when she sees we are eating. (Well when only me and mom are in the room)
I recently got married. My husband allows her to beg....even to the point of laying her head right on his leg. He refuses to tell her to go to her place. I always have to be the heavy even though she doesn't beg from me and she is starting to avoid me. She is starting to go to him with her ball and go to him when he is sitting on the couch but is avoiding me sometimes when I am sitting in my chair.
What can I do? Please help.
I have been training her to be my helper dog. My last helper dog passed Nov 26, 2018. I need this girl to be hooked on to ME.
Bravo 👏🏼
This video came right on time. My puppy tried to eat a bee yesterday and got stung on the nose. He seems to listen to “leave it” in the house but the moment we step outside it all goes out of the window.
dogs are not good in generalization. if he was to get stung outside he will prob remember it then as well. that's why you have to "proof" his training by training commands in all types of situations. Eventually, your dog will realize what you are trying to do and expand his generalization.
Ouch!! Poor little man!! Keep practicing training in more and more distracting environments so he can learn fewer lessons “the hard way”! Don’t beat yourself up, though!! It happens! At least now you know he isn’t allergic 😊
Our puppy did the same thing, last fall. He learned his lesson, and extracted his revenge the next frosty night. He located the hive, and dug it up.
I had no idea it was there, assuming it was relatively new. My kids and dogs have been passing by and playing around, the area for years. Never a problem, until the puppy came home.
Thanks for these videos Robert. I've been watching all your videos...still catching up.
Our 7 month Doberman is taking to your method of training... it's blowing other people's minds lol.
Appreciate all your time and effort.
Hey Robert, is there anyway you can do a video on using patrol leads and their benefits?
May we just be in awe of the property you worked on?
right! I wonder where it is...I'm always amazed of the landscape 😍
Hi Robert, I sort of teached my pups the leave it command using your method from your previous videos. My concern is - how can we teach our dogs to not eat things that are thrown to them by someone else (like robbers) when I'm not around?
Is this going to be the same exercise?
Thank you and more power to your channel.
Are the principles the same with a high drive working dog? Im wondering if youd treat the dog the same as if you have a working dog you want to keep as much of the dogs drive as possible as well as handler focus. If you use this method do you think that you risk damaging handler relationship as well as the dogs drive?
Wow, great lesson, thank you very much, I think the choke chain helps to give a quick correction, and of course the abundant praise is great, thank you for modeling good owner behavior!!
Please don't ever use a choke chain
Have you ever tried this training with a Wetterhoun or a Stabyhoun ?
Thx Robert, I'll put this in her (GSD) training immediately. Folks should understand there are edibles that kids, folks drop unintentionally and these can be quite dangerous for our dogs to find😎👍
so you are using a second treat for the reward and also is that just a plain collar handsome is wearing? can I use a prong?
Have a 5 month old retriever and border colli mix,i dont care what it is,he puts it in his mouth. Leave it works when on leash ok but keeps moving on to the next and the next and next thing. Even with play. What to do???
Hey Robert ! I have a 9 month old Belgian malinios and she’s and awesome dog ! But I can’t seem to get her to stop barking and jumping on people she likes any tips ? Thank you !
You’ve got to teach “settle”. Get ahead of her. If you can anticipate an exciting situation (like people coming to visit) exercise her well beforehand and teach her to lay down in a place that belongs to her and to “settle” and stay there calmly when people come in the door.
You will have to ask someone to help by coming over so you can practice this. You’ll have to replace her if she gets up a few times the first few times you do this.
Also require her to sit if she wants affection from anyone. It’s hard to jump on people if your butt is on the ground. Ask guests to ignore her unless she is sitting.
Also it’s a good trick to move toward the dog if they start to jump on you. People tend to step back, but if you step into them it puts them off balance and they don’t like it.
Much easier to just sit and get loved on than to jump and get off balanced and ignored.
While you’re working on all of this have her on a leash when you know you’re going to be in a situation where she’s going to want to jump on people so you can correct her and prevent the bad habits from really solidifying!
Is the same leash correction method recommended for puppies and beginning at what age?
The correction must match the dog. Not crush the dogs spirit.
hello good night I want to know if you train the dogs for self defense and if you sell
Hi Robert from UK 🇬🇧love your videos.... Have you got any tips on how to get my 4 year old Dobe .. running to play with other off lead dogs on our Beach walks ....he seems to have regressed in this over the last 4 weeks ...what would you suggest to reproof him ( just starting summer here - so looking to get him back on track )
Or any one else who have experienced this ..
Start back with the basics.
@@RobertCabralDogs somehow I knew you were coming back with that ....... 😁😁😁🙈......let the fun begin
I've often wondered, do I really need to teach leave it, if I have a robust No? I use No and my dogs leave anything
My golden retriever puppy is 11 weeks 1 day old and she doesn't wanna eat anything without milk. We give her home made food. She likes all types of milk products. Can you please give any suggestions. Please 🙏
At what age do you think is appropriate for the pups to follow?
Leave it can be used for all sorts of things in the day to day once it is drilled. Valuable command
What a beautiful park. Where is it?
Southern California
@@NissrineA74 makes sense not wanting to disclose the location. My wife and I are thinking about moving to L.A. in the near future and was just curious.
@@ayadal I know Robert is in the LA area but I’m not from there so not sure where that park is. It sure is beautiful 😻
This technique is great ... it really works. However needs regular reinforcing training to keep it fresh. I find it helps with offlead walks with a over-people-freindy mutt who tends to jump up ... the leave it training nips that (mostly) in the bud. I t makes life so much more pleasant.
You have any advice on littermate syndrome? I thought it was a cute idea to get 2 male siblings and well all they do is fight. They are GSD 12 weeks old. Any advice would be appreciated.
I talk about it in several videos. Never a good idea.
That must be frustrating! A few thoughts....first, obviously keep them separated to responsibly manage this and also help prevent it from becoming any more of a default activity for them while you are working through this. They need to bond with you NOW separately and individually, through exercise, training, feeding. You will need to spend time on obedience training with each dog individually. What about a puppy class. Can you take one dog and a partner take the other? Alternatively, take one dog and work on the homework with both dogs, separately. Just basic obedience to establish structure, routine and to clearly communicate that you are the leader. If you focus on obedience, structure, exercise etc, they will be more balanced, more likely to want to please you, less bored etc
You may want to find a balanced, compassionate trainer in your area to help.
Above all, please continue to research and seek out the best help now. They are young and this can be resolved. At some point, it will become very difficult if not impossible.
I'm from New York and my name is Jorge Rodriguez
What about shoes? My puppy constantly picking up shoes! Turn my back for 1 sec yet leaves it when I’m teaching, throwing an old pair of shoes near him then reward when he leaves them but as soon as he passes a pair of shoes he grabs and chews!
Why did you say good instead of yes after he finally did leave it? Sorry I'm having trouble figuring out when to say yes or good
Good usually is a bridge word to something else. If you say, "yes" then you mark with a reward. Good means the dog was correct and to stay engaged.
Good question. It can be kind of confusing. And really, either would probably be ok.
It seems Robert uses “good” when he wants the dog to continue the thing that he is doing. So “good” = continue to “leave it”. And he uses YES as a marker AND a release word at the same time. So maybe by saying “yes”, it would be too much like releasing the dog and thus giving him permission to now take the thing he should leave. Clear as mud?
❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶
I have a 8 week old German Shepard when can we start training? Thanks Robert!
As soon as possible. Like now.
@@ScuuBdoo - Will he learn at that age?
@@jameshumphries5059 Absolutely. I started my Husky using Roberts techniques at 8 weeks old. She's now 18 months and does all the basics like sit, stay, lie down, leave it, show the paw/shake hands, high 5s, Recall however is proving a challenge.
@@ScuuBdoo - Great! Thanks
ScuuBdoo e collar
What type of collar it should be used for this training?
Regular martingale or choke chain
@@RobertCabralDogs please do not use choke chain collars
My GSD is almost 3yrs been teaching her since she was a pup leaves everything I train her with toys or treat no problem but if I take my eyes of her while she is having a sniff she will eat any thing she finds I punish her every time but nothing makes a difference can anyone help her obedience is great
I'm not a professional so take this with a grain of salt, but you might consider an e-collar or some other correction that you can give remotely so that your dog understands he should leave certain things even when you are not around.
My dog don’t play with me she just runs away she plays with me for 15 min till then she listens everything but after 15-20 minutes she just ran off so I didn’t put her back in cage . She gets lots of exercise daily but then also she dont listen. Please help 🙏 make a vedio or reply me in short but please reply 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this lesson!
I wish someone had told the breeder of that dog to "leave it" when he brought a Corgi to a German Shepherd for mating, thereby cursing the GSD with that body. Poor little dog. :(
Why do you assume it's a mix breed? The black back? A lot of dog breeds have that look, including the Pembroke welsh corgi, google the breed. They come in a lot of colors.
@@mayomuffin5808 Because I don't know anything. I see a German Shepherd head and face with German Shepherd coloring and a corgi shaped body and legs.
I don't really know much about dog breeds.
@@mayomuffin5808 They may have mixed the breeds 130 years ago, which may have resulted in the Pembroke welsh corgi.
I have no clue!
Is this the only way or is there different ways to teach leave it? Because I don’t want to use many corrections when teaching my dog leave it..
You can body block the dog to keep him from getting the treat instead of using corrections. And instead of “checking” the leash (or yanking it) just make sure the leash is short enough that the dog can’t get the food.
I have taught LOADS of dogs to “leave it” without ever needing to use a correction. It’s one way, but you can use others. As long as the dog gets the idea that “leave it” means “I don’t want you to touch that”
There are a few ways to communicate that
🤣 Did anything you tried , worked so far?
There is always another way. I work with shelter dogs and I find that not all techniques work on all dogs. Have to find what works for each dog. But I will say, I learned this Leave it from Robert and it is one of the few techniques that seems to work on pretty much every dog. In fact, I have yet to not have it work. I have however adjusted the correction when working with a couple of very soft, shy dogs. In those cases, I tossed the treat farther away so that I could rely on my voice for correction. Gradually tossing the item closer and closer. My main goal when training any dog especially the soft ones, is to not harm our relationship or create any sort of fear or hesitation about working with me. And thankfully, I never have.
I think it’s great that you try to use as few as corrections as possible! Look at it this way: the consequence of not learning to leave it on command could be far worse for the dog than a well timed, fair correction. (Think snake bite! Or poisonous or toxic something. Or a stone, stick, etc all potentially harmful, some potentially fatal.)
@@PuproarFosters I train a lot of puppies (and soft dogs as well and rehab fear-aggressive fosters, too) and kneeling down, teach “leave it” by holding their collar works so well with such dogs. You’re close to them and can be more comforting that way, they respond super well to that, in case you ever have a little guy that needs to learn!
Also hello to another shelter trainer! There are never enough of us to go around!
I find that true fear-aggressive dogs will really crumple if they’re corrected. For them it’s all about confidence building. But “leave it”, like you said, is a life or death command! That and not bolting out an open door are sooooo important, you’ve gotta do what will stick for the individual dog.
It’s just like kids in school. We are all different and learn in different ways. Each dog is his own little mind and you have to be flexible to that for sure!
I Can Get All Breeds Dog Training. I Find This Wondeful. NIce. Enjoy
That was sooo confusing!
I tell my Malinois "Leave it!" And she leaves 😩
😂
I appreciate the fact that the title and length of the video are both exactly 5 minutes.
However, one concern I have with this technique is the frequent leash corrections. I also heard the use of a choke chain, which is terrible and should NEVER be used. Pain and force should not be your training tools.
Instead, a less forceful technique to teach "Leave It" is to show your dog a treat in your hand, and close your hand whenever they go for the treat. When they finally wait and stop going for the treat, you introduce the concept of leave it. This can progress to throwing a treat on the ground, covering it with your hand, and repeating until they learn to "leave it."
What's the chain around his neck?......poor dog
It’s called a chain collar or a choke collar. In the hands of a compassionate, educated handler it provides a little squeeze or pinch. As opposed to a regular flat collar. If you’ve ever noticed someone walking down the sidewalk, being dragged by their dog, that dog is probably wearing a regular old flat collar. Many people feel better seeing them on a dog, but the truth is, when pulling, instead of evenly distributing a “pinch” around the dog like a choke or prong collar would, they put all the pressure on one spot on the dog. This can cause damage to trachea, neck, even spinal cord.
So the next time you see someone being pulled down the street by their “normal collar”, THAT is the dog you should feel sorry for.
Dogs tummy gonna run from the cheese 🧀
~ I don’t agree with this training method for Leave it
~ You Only install fear in that dog.
No reward or praise when dog sits on command.
Generally impressed with Robert’s offerings. However, this leaves much to be desired. Arcane methodology, poor handling, engagement and contradicts much of Robert’s other, better videos (eg., perfecting recall by tossing bait between legs, allowing dog to pass through and PICK UP BAIT FROM THE GROUND). My criticisms are borne out of the high criteria that Robert’s past work has given.
This is the single most effective way to teach this. I’ve taught it to countless pet dogs as well as shelter dogs. May seem archaic, but it works.
Robert Cabral I reread my comment to confirm that I never challenged whether or not it “works.” Moreover, I have an appreciation for a certain degree of pragmatic principles in our craft. When, however, a technique or methodology is justified as good, true or correct on the claim that “it works,” one has moved from utility and pragmatics into pragmatism. By the line of reasoning in your reply, one could justify many of the compulsion-based, purely aversive, yank & crank, ecollar on 110 methods of yesteryear and the sloughs of immoral trainers today. So, I’m not convinced. Likewise, that this works doesn’t untie the contradictory knot of your various videos that promote using techniques involving the dog picking up and eating bait from the ground. Note, lastly, in this video, per your talk with the owner, cheese was functioning as the positive reinforcement, while in the same workout you switch up and cheese becomes a “temptation,” as you call it, and the associated object of positive punishment. This is clearly confusing and therefore terribly unfair to the dog.
