BOND-BUILDING CHALLENGE Try teaching your dog a little patience. When you feed your dog breakfast or dinner, load up the dish or stuffable dog toy and cue your dog for a sit, stay. Work on placing the dish or stuffable toy on the ground and keep your dog in sit, stay.* If your dog breaks and moves for the food as you put it on the ground, simply stand up while holding the food. Cue for a sit, stay and try again. Keep working on this until your dog can remain in sit for about 3 seconds while the food is on the ground. Then release your dog and let him eat. Slowly build the stay with food on the ground up to 5 - 10 seconds over a period of a few days. *If your dog is aggressive around food (resource guarder), then seek our help to fix this problem. Do not attempt this exercise without the help of a professional, positive reinforcement trainer.
