Teaching the command ‘Watch’ or ‘Look’ to gain your dogs attention!Get your dog in front of you, either sitting or standing and say their name sharply in a commanding but friendly tone. Immediately offer a treat or fun toy! Do this once or twice.Then the third time, bring the treat/toy up quickly, just in front of your own nose, tell your dog to “Watch/Look” as soon as they look at you (their eyes will be following the movement of the treat) and give a “Good dog” and the treat/toy.Add the movement of your hand with the treat - back to your dogs face and up to your nose.After a few repetitions, alternate the command without the treat. Your dog will get so that they watch the movement of your hand regardless of whether you have a treat, Selina McIntyre, Dog Behavioural Consultant, Dogs Best Friend.
