In day 47 of the training plan, you will learn to reinforce your dog's "off" signal through tugging games.

The free training plan provides you with all the important steps for successful training.

In day 46 of the training plan, you reinforce your dog's "off" signal through a structured swap: your dog learns to swap a toy for an identical one on signal.

The free training plan and our tips from dog psychology and cynology will help you to organise the training calmly and effectively.

Day 45 of the basic obedience course is all about teaching your dog the "off" signal so that he lets toys out of his mouth on a signal.
