►WHAT'S IN THIS DOG TRAINING VIDEO:
How to Train Your Dog to “LEAVE IT” so that it works in the REAL WORLD. In my opinion as a professional force free dog trainer, “leave it” is one of the most important cues you can teach your dog. Leave it means “don’t go for that thing I KNOW you’re interested in!”. Leave it can be a lifesaving cue since it can prevent your dog from chasing or eating something dangerous to them.
This video will show you how to train leave it so that it works on food, animals, or anything else your dog might be interested in!

Brilliant!!! My girl picked this up very quickly inside. It didn't occur to me to do this in different environments so I'll work on this with her now before progressing to the advanced video. Thank you so much!!!
So glad you liked it, and that your dog picked it up so quickly 🙂
This is a great tutorial Stephanie. Probably my favourite leave it video available on TH-cam. Well done.
Wow! Massive compliment. Thank you so much!
this is one of the best training videos i’ve seen. 🙂 thanks so much.
Wow, thank you! Hearing that means a lot 😁
I’ve been binging your videos and read through the “Dog Prey Drive…” ebook and want to dive right into it.
We’ve got a very solid marker word so I’m going to begin with “leave it” since this seems like an important tool for tackling reactivity and prey drive.
My question is this. What value of treats/food do you use for “leave it”?.
Thank you for the videos. I can’t wait to get started.
Amazing 😊 It actually makes me so happy to hear that you find my content binge-worthy!!
I typically divide “dog treats” into three value categories:
1) Low value: kibble, fruit/vegetable dog treats (example blueberry treats), milk bones, etc
2) High value: freeze-dried beef liver, single ingredient/pure meat dog treats, soft & stinky dog treats, etc
3) Very high value: cheese cubes, boiled & shredded chicken, ground beef, roasted pork chop, etc
For teaching the "leave it" cue in THIS video, I use category 2 treats as rewards typically. However when I first start using the cue for prey drive I use level 3 (then phase down to level 2 treats once the skill is more solid). Hope that helps!
Love your training methods. I have a 16 week cocker. i am going down the force free route of training you recommend in other videos. Your videos are well structured and precise. Keep them coming.
Thank you SO much. I'm really glad you find the structure of them helpful! It's also helpful for ME to hear that so that I know for future videos what format does/doesn't work for people 🙂
Your videos are sooo helpful
Thank you so much! 🙂
Awesome video! Exactly what I needed for my squirrel/bird/lizard/trash chasing dogs. Thank you for the mention of lifetime rewards. I use them for Come as well to always get them to come to me knowing they’ll be rewarded
So glad you liked it! If you haven't watched it yet, I'd check out this video on prey drive/animal chasing next:th-cam.com/video/A7D9tE40xoE/w-d-xo.html. My own dog was squirrel obsessed!
Best video ever!! 🎉
Oh 😊♥ Thank you SOO much!!
Such a great tutorial! Thank u!
You’re welcome! So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great video! Thank you very much! 💜💜💜 Going to share this with a bunch of people. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing 🙂
training with food on the table seems like a game changer! I've been teaching leave it to my dog only on the floor, and she keeps trying to steal things from tables and counters... can't wait to try this out!
Generalizing the skill on different surfaces is SO helpful!! 👌I'm going to be uploading another video soon about counter surfing that might interest you too. It's with the same dog, but showing how I teach her to stop stealing food from counters WITHOUT me needing to cue her to "leave it" or when I'm not in the room! More advanced version 🙂
Hi, you'll se me pop up with quite a few questions as I go through your videos. once your dog understands the verbal que 'leave it' what happens when you are not around or the dog is left at home with other family members. especially kids who love to leave all the toxic stuff about. x x
Great question!! For managing counter surfing when you're not in the room, I have a separate tutorial that should explain everything you need to know 😀 Kiki, the dog in this leave it tutorial was a wild food thief as soon as her guardians (or me haha) turned their backs. I'll link that video here: th-cam.com/video/qJ-FGREOlrQ/w-d-xo.html
For the Impulse control part, should the dog start form the Seat position?
For the un-cued impulse control or cued in-hand exercises, sitting isn't necessary! (Kiki just auto sits). I do find it helps to ask your dog to sit prior to starting the on-the-floor version though when they're first learning!
My dog will pick it up very easily while training (i can set the treat on her paw or leave the room for a little even) but if we are outside or she knows we arent training and distracted, she will steal food or not stop smelling or trying to eat something from the ground. Any tips for a case like this?
I do! I actually have a full tutorial on how I teach dogs to leave food alone when you leave the room 😊 It has to become an uncued skill so that it becomes their default behaviour. I’ll link it here: Dog Steals Food? Try THIS Method to Fix COUNTER SURFING

First of all, I'm using a translator because I'm not used to using English. Please understand even if the sentence is weird.
My dog has a strong PREY DRIVE. I wanted to lower his excitement in the mountains, so I looked up several sites and saw your TH-cam.
My dog has perfect loose leash walking in the city center. However, there are many difficulties in the mountains because of the prey drive. He is distracted and has a lot of pulling because he is tracking the smell of small animals. Even though most of the time, no other animal is actually right in front of his eyes. I stop immediately when he pulls the rope, then when he returns, I'm repeatedly rewarding him with a palatable treat and then starting again, but it doesn't work in the mountains.
Will LEAVE IT training work in this case as well? I'll try even if it doesn't work, but can you tell me if there's any other better way?
Also, do you use the same snack in both hands when attaching the CUE? Or does he practice snacks that he doesn't get using less palatable ones?
Hi! First I want to reassure you that the translation was great, so your question is easy to understand.
Yes, if most of the time it’s simply smells rather than actually seeing an animal, the “leave it” cue should work great! I’m actually in the process of creating two more advanced versions of this too. One where I should how to train “leave it” so it works great on walks/real life too, and then another showing how I used it as a starter cue in training my dogs prey drive. My dog used to want to chase EVERYTHING that moved 😂 Stay tuned for the more advanced versions! However, your dog will still need to be solid on the beginner cue, so I’d start training what you see in this video!
For training “leave it” you can use the same treats, but your dog will learn the cue faster if the one they’re “leaving” is less palatable than the reward.
I have a question, can you train a puppy like this? Like 3-6 months old?
Absolutely! I’ve actually filmed a leave it tutorial with a ~2 month old puppy named Bosa (just haven’t edited and uploaded it yet). Puppies can definitely learn leave it 😊
my dog has decided playing tug with my hand is the way to go for the first step and when i leave the room he barks at me and bites my ankles on the way out 🙃
How old is your dog? Sounds like he might be trying to turn it into either a play session OR developing a demand behaviour!
@@happyhoundsdogtraining he's 15 weeks old, we got him from the shelter a couple weeks ago and he was timid at first but has definitely let loose now (especially with my fiancee)
we are a bit worried we might be in over our heads but obedience classes dont open for another 6 weeks near us 😬
@@runnerup15 ah that makes sense! Mix of puppy playing & biting 😂
At least with our Corgis , we don’t have to worry about counter surfing 🤣
😂🤣 LOL! I don't know.... Neirah could jump above my head when she was younger 🤣 Scared me on walks a few times because all of a sudden she'd be on ledges above me hahaha.
If step 2 is leave it, why spend the time on step one where she gets the treat - sorry, am I being dumb because I just can't see the reason for step one
I don't think any questions are dumb! 🙂 The reason I like starting with step 1 (un-cued) is for building a little impulse control. I find this particularly helpful in households with kids (that often have snacks in hand) or if you have a dog that takes treats roughly. It teaches the dog that without any cueing or needing to be told to leave it alone, the food in the humans hand isn't automatically theirs. Whenever possible I like teaching some good default behaviours! That said, you can absolutely skip it if you prefer just starting with cueing 😊
Of course! It's so obvious when it's pointed out. Thankyou so much for getting back to me and for all of your hard work. I've been training dogs for years, but I am still learning so much from you.
