With this game we teach dogs to put their front feet on an object. After your dog aces this game at home, begin using it to ease your dog into new environments, building more engagement with you and confidence in new situations. Add interest to your outings and grow Optimism by using natural or man-made objects as points of calmness and focus – rocks, tree stumps, park benches, retaining walls and more. For those of you with small dogs, after teaching Two Paws On an object, teach your pup to put their front feet on your leg. Now THAT’s Proximity!
