Michael Ellis on Using Spatial Pressure with Food

In this video, you will watch Lindsey use spatial pressure to manipulate the dog. She starts with the dog in a stand and holds food directly in front of the dog's face and walks into the dog with her hands closed up. When the dog backs up, she says YES and opens her food hand to deliver the reward.

This video was taken out of Leerburg's Online Course on The Power of Training Dogs with Food by Michael Ellis.

When people have specific training questions we recommend that they go to our website and post those questions in the ASK CINDY on the front page of leerburg.com. Cindy has been training dogs since she was a teenager and has competed in several dog sports at a regional and national level. She was also a vet tech and owned a boarding/training and grooming business for many years as well as breeding working Dobermans and Belgian Malinois under the kennel name Kaiserhaus. Questions posted to ASK CINDY are answered almost every day. They are also recorded in our systems if a dog owner has additional questions Cindy will review the previous Q&As and this helps her give better feedback and assistance. Ask Cindy!
