We skipped ahead a little from our last video, where Molly was practicing “leave it” indoors with food distractions.

This time, we added more difficulty:
✨ outside in the yard
✨ other dogs running around
✨ ball throwing (her BIG excitement trigger)

People teach “leave it” for lots of different reasons, but for Molly, my focus is helping her learn impulse control around the ball.

Instead of immediately reacting, grabbing, or fixating, she’s learning to pause, think, and check back in with me…even when exciting things are happening around her!

You’ll notice she watches the dogs and the ball, then chooses to reorient back to me, and I reward for making such cool choices 💛

This isn’t about “perfect obedience.”
It’s about building emotional regulation, thoughtful choices, and the ability to stay connected even around high-value distractions!

Here at Through Canine Eyes, daycare isn’t about overstimulation or chaos.
It’s about appropriate socialisation, freedom, and feeling safe in a natural setting 💜

A home-style environment where dogs can move, play, and just be dogs… together 🐕

And a little shoutout to Dundee ☺️
Who once found this all overwhelming, and now gets to move, play, and exist alongside other dogs with growing confidence!

This is what progress can look like 🥹

Leveling up “leave it” 👇

Now Molly’s holding position while I add movement and distraction.

She’s learning that even if she leaves that one treat, she still gets rewarded and never actually misses out!

Even though it’s sped up, watch her tail!

She hears “leave it,” makes the right choice…
and you’ll see the tail wag before I even say “yes” 🐾

That’s not just training, that’s a dog who feels proud of herself!

When we train through clarity and connection, we don’t just get the behaviour we want…

We build confident, secure dogs who feel good in what they’re doing ❤️

Laying the groundwork here… real-life application coming next 🐾

A common mistake with “leave it” 👇
Saying it over and over… before your dog even knows what it means.

Instead:
✔ Teach the action first (disengage → check in)
✔ Reward the choice
✔ THEN add the words

If we rush the cue, it becomes noise.
If we build the behaviour first, it becomes communication 🐾

This is just the beginning ✨
Stay tuned to see how Molly takes this into real-life situations 🐾
