Train a dog to "Leave it"

Leave it
This is one of the major and most important training that we should train a dog for, major reason behind this training is that the dog should not eat any unwanted stuff and also should not eat anything thats left on its own. There are very simple steps that we can take on a daily basis in order for the dog to master this trick. Firstly grab some tasty treat in your hand make a fist keeping some treat in your hand. The dog will get eager to get that treat out of your hand and will start sniffing and licking. Once the dogs starts doing all this activity in a firm voice say LEAVE IT. Once the dogs looks at you when you say leave it instantly praise the dog with the treat. Make sure the treat you use to praise the dog is different from the one that you have in your hand. Follow this step multiple times once the dogs looks at you every time  praise the dog. After couple of days place the treat in a bowl. Make the dog sit in front of the bowl and at the same time command him to stay as well. Go near the treat and say leave it. Stand away from the bowl. Release the Stay command once the dog tries to sniff the bowl while coming towards you say leave it in an affirmative voice, once the dog looks at you and walks towards you praise the dog with ample of affection and treat. Practice it daily to solidify the command.
