1. Put the mat on the ground near your dog. Sit on a step or a chair nearby. When your dog looks towards the mat, click and throw a treat to the other side of the target.

2. As the dog moves back towards you having retrieved the treat and either looks at or touches the target, click and throw another treat over the target.

…click and throw a treat to the other side

As your dog touches or looks at the target, click and throw a treat

3. Repeat this step until the penny drops and your dog understands that the click is linked to him interacting with the target.

4. The next stage is to pause for a few seconds as he stands touching the target then click and treat. Repeat this step a few times.

5. You can then withhold the click as your dog touches the target to see if he will offer a sit or down. Only ask for ‘sit’ or ‘down’, if your dog is well practised at these and offers the positions consistently on a single word cue, otherwise you will confuse him.

TIMING

To extend the time that he will stand, sit or down on the target, delay the click for a few seconds at a time.
