The "leave it" command is a crucial command that can help dogs avoid dangerous or undesirable objects or situations. Teaching this command can be done through a series of simple steps, as outlined below. To begin, start by holding a treat in your closed hand.

As soon as your dog stops trying to get the treat, say "leave it" in a firm but calm voice, and then open your hand to give them the treat. Repeat this process several times, gradually increasing the time between when your dog stops trying to get the treat and when you say "leave it" and give them the treat. As your dog becomes more familiar with the command, you can start to add a gesture to the command, such as holding your hand out flat with the palm facing them. This will help the dog to better understand what is expected of them. Additionally, you can gradually increase the difficulty by adding distraction

You do not need to use the exact distance each time, and you can even mix it up by changing direction each time the dog pulls on the lead.
