Universal Commands - Leave
The "Leave" command. Covers a few things that can save teaching additional commands.
Leave can have a variety
of meanings all of which could have another individual command but
for the sake of the dog and yourself - keep it simple.
Use Leave
to get you dog to ignore something it finds interesting, drop some
disgusting item it has in its mouth, stop chasing that cat. put that
child down - you don't know where its been. Broadly - stop doing
something you don't want it to do.
In Border Collie Rescue all verbal commands used are accompanied by hand signals which serve
to emphasise and compliment the instruction.
This is of great benefit when training deaf dogs, dogs with learning difficulties and dogs with short attentions spans.
