Add Precision with a Front-Foot Target (Bonus)

Use this bonus exercise once your dog has strong front-foot-target fluency.

  1. 1Confirm your dog already has strong front-foot-target fluency before starting.
  2. 2Use a platform low enough that lying down is comfortable.
  3. 3Lure the positions at first, until your dog understands to keep their feet still on the platform.
  4. 4Move on to practicing verbal cues with your dog's front feet still on the target.

A front-foot target gives your dog one consistent place for their front feet.
