Tonight at puppy class, I let Jill, one of my daughters, work with Zane while I taught. She introduced him to leave it. I haven't worked on leave it yet as I've taught him so much self-control in other areas. She said after one try, he wouldn't even go for the treat in her open hand. We'll just have to do walk-aways with him - the regular method of leave-it will never work.
She also worked on the "circus elephant" trick with him. And held him while he was a distraction for another fearful puppy.
I've been trying to get other people to walk him or hold his leash while I walk away, but having Jill train him is even better. I'm sure we'll be doing that again.
