Motivation Pop Introduction
- Have your dog on leash and in a relaxed position. Your dog does not have to be in heel position or in a sit.
- Place toy to drop and play. Use a treat pocket as an alternate.
- Hold your leash in your left hand. Make sure that you leash is relatively short and your dog on a buckle collar.
- Lightly pop up on the leash multiple times in rapid manner Then drop the toy/pocket and play. We want him to know the pop is fun.
- Repeat a few times until the “pop” has established value.
- The goal is to see your dog look at you for his reward when you lightly pop up on the leash.
- The motivational pop is also an attention or try harder cue. If your dog is not looking up at you, use light rapid pops until you gain his attention. Reward and release and play.
- I find this especially useful during turns.
