Mischievous dog sat on floor with owner's slippers.

When you’re training your dog, it’s important to teach them a ‘leave it’ cue. Our pups often love to sniff and inspect things, and scavenge – it’s all natural for dogs. But they can sometimes find things they’re not supposed to have. They can range from the annoying – the magazine you’re still reading or the sausages you left on the side – to the dangerous, like medication or food that’s poisonous to dogs. 

So, a ‘leave it’ cue can help you keep your dog safe. And it’s easy to practice teaching your furry friend to leave things, too. Professional dog trainer and consultant Amelia Steele – known as Amelia the Dog Trainer on Instagram – has explained what you can try in a new post. Grab some of the best dog treats and get started!
