"Master the Collar Grab: A Vital Skill Every Dog Owner Needs!"
Teaching dogs the "Collar Grab Game" is an essential management strategy for all dog owners. This game conditions your dog to associate collar or harness handling with positive experiences. In situations where you need to secure your dog quickly or remove them from potential danger, this training significantly reduces the risk of redirecting aggression. Equip yourself and your dog with practical skills for any unexpected scenario!
Here are the steps to teach the Collar Grab Game:
Step 1: Put the dog on a leash and quickly grab the end of the leash close to the collar. At this initial stage, do not touch the dog or the collar; simply feed them a treat.
Step 2: Once the dog is conditioned to your hand coming close to the collar, begin to touch the collar while feeding treats.
Step 3: Gently grab the collar, release it quickly, and then feed the dog.
Step 4: Gently grab the collar, hold it for one second, release it quickly, and then feed.
Step 5: Gradually increase the duration of holding the collar, followed by a release and feeding.
Step 6: Introduce small movements by slowly guiding the dog in the opposite direction while feeding treats.
As you progress, gradually increase the duration of gentle restraint. The goal is to ensure the dog feels happy about being grabbed and willing to move alongside you.
Remember, always train FOR the situation, not IN the situation.
