Hand Touch Game

Leerburg Free Dog Training Videos

When we ask our dog for a hand-touch we expect the dog to touch their nose to the palm of our hand. The hand-touch becomes a fun game that our dogs love to play at home and on walks. In fact, with many dogs, the hand-touch itself becomes a reward. Once our dog becomes fluent with the hand-touch we can use it to redirect the dog away from unwanted distractions like other dogs, people, or things that make them nervous or reactive. This video came out of a new 5 hour online course from Leerburg.com titled Training Your Dog With High Value Food Rewards with Ed Frawley. The course has over 100 videos in it. It replaces a 2 hour course Ed did back in 2006.
