In this lesson, I am going to discuss how to teach the “drop-it” command to your puppy. This is for basic obedience training, this technique does not apply to resource guarding. 

What not to do:

1. Repeat the command
2. Grab the object from the puppy’s mouth

What to do:

1. Say the words “drop-it” after puppy has an object in their mouth that you don’t want them to have
2. Wait for puppy to let it go, do not force this step, be patient
3. Reward them with a high value food reward after they drop it.
