Leave it is one of the most useful commands you can teach your dog but unfortunately, you're probably using it wrong. If you tell your dog to "leave it" six times while they continue to stare at a squirrel, dog, or cat, you're teaching them that leave it means fixate! Leave it should mean disengage from whatever they're fixated on/interacting with and in this video, I'll show you the process of how to teach your to disengage in just 4 steps.
