Does your dog dash away from the collar and leash?

Hi there,

Have you ever been in this situation?

Your dog has been playing at the park for an hour, and now it’s late.

You’re starting to feel hungry… or perhaps you’ll need to run an errand very soon…

So you think “Yup, it’s time to head home.”

You walk in the direction of your dog with a collar and leash…

At the sight of this, they dash away, because they are still having fun and not ready to go home yet!

Avoiding the collar can be a really frustrating habit.

Dogs are so much faster than us.

And don’t even think about solving this by trying to catch our dog really quickly. They will run away every time.

So… How do you solve collar avoidance?

While luring the dog close with a cookie can work in the moment, it will fail as soon as you don’t have a cookie.

That’s why today I have a clever and effective approach for you. It will not only teach you how to solve collar/harness avoidance, but if you get creative with this approach, it can also be applied to a number of other training situations!

Here’s how you do it.

Instead of bribing our dog, we will use the concept of targeting.
