Teaching your puppy/dog to “Leave it” in 15 mins is possible, however you will want to have several 15 min sessions to get a solid “leave it”. Teaching the “Leave it” command is one of the most useful commands to teach a dog and is one of the core commands that I personally use. Sit, Down, Off, Back, Come, Place or Crate, Watch Me and Leave it, these are the ones that I find to be the most useful and really the only ones I use in my “day to day” life with my dogs.
You can also teach more complicated “tricks” but those are pretty much the basics in the house obedience commands.
The “leave it” command is used when you want your dog to leave something alone.. maybe something you’ve dropped, another dog, a child or your food for example.
The key to a reliable “Leave it†is to teach your dog that if he leaves something alone when you ask him to, he might score something even better!
Sit down with your dog and show him that you have a treat tucked in your hand.
The next step is to teach your dog to look at you in order to earn the treat.
The next step is to practice with the treat in plain view on the floor. At this stage, use so-so treats for the bait and higher-value treats for rewards. So you might place a piece of kibble or dry dog biscuit on the floor and use pieces of chicken or steak to reward your dog.
I think you will find this happens very quickly with most dogs, and then just practice as much as you want.
Training can be fun if you can keep your puppy engaged, keep your training sessions short so you don’t loose their attention and keep a positive attitude.
Training your puppy is rewarding and useful in the long run for both of you.
