Welcome to CBC Life's pet training classes. This series of short videos will teach you how to get your pup to obey simple commands that can be used in a wide variety of situations.
This week Danielle Hodges teaches us how to get your dog to "touch" your hand — with the assistance of Gordon! The idea is to appeal to your dog's curiosity: holding out your hand out, and away from where you don't want them to be, so that they re-position themselves out of that taboo area.
Persistence is key with this command; re-teaching this in different rooms so they will eventually be accustomed to obeying this anywhere.
