please check my answer thanks so much :)
When teaching the leave it command, when should you give the dog a reward?
A. While its chewing the forbidden object so it will leave it and take the treat instead
B. The instant it leaves the forbidden object
C. As soon as it comes to you
D. After you've given it lots of praise
I pick B ( because I think that as soon as ths dog leaves the object )
I agree.
Great effort! To determine the correct answer, it's important to understand the purpose of teaching the "leave it" command. The aim is to train the dog to refrain from interacting with or picking up certain objects.
The correct answer in this case is B. The instant it leaves the forbidden object. When you are teaching the "leave it" command, you want to reward the dog as soon as it disengages from the object you want it to avoid. By rewarding the dog immediately, you reinforce the behavior of leaving the object, making it more likely to comply in the future.
Don't forget that consistency is key when training your dog. Repeat the exercise multiple times until the behavior is well-established. Gradually increase the duration before giving the reward and practice in different environments to reinforce the command in various situations. Happy training!
