The 1-2-3 Game is a super fun pattern game that we use to help with many things including loose leash walking.
How to Play:
- Starting in a stationary position say “3” and give your dog a treat.
- Once they start anticipating that treat when you say 3, that’s when you can add in the 2. Instead of just saying 3, you’re going to start saying “2, 3!” and give your dog a treat.
- After working on step two, once your dog starts anticipating getting that treat on 3 after you say 2, that’s when you can finally add in the 1! 1-2-3 and give your dog a treat.
- Once your dog understands the concept of the 1-2-3 game with you stationary you can begin to add in some movement.
