Training Session #2 – Eye Contact –
When, How and Why?

To teach anything, you must first have your dog’s eye contact and attention.  Everything you will do with your dog builds on this exercise.  This is your foundation for getting reliable behaviors.  When you say your dog’s name, your dog should look into your eyes.  He should not continue doing what he was doing nor should you have to repeat his name over and over.  You should get a good solid look into your eyes, not a glance, not a look at your treat pouch, your hand or elsewhere.  Pia will go over techniques to get your dog to “want” to look at you, even when you don’t ask.
