Teach Your Dog "Middle"

Day 11 Dog Training Challenge: Middle (Trainer Mandy) Ooh, this is going to be fun! Today we're going to teach your dog "middle", which essentially has them peeking out between your legs. So cute! It's also a great safety zone if you're approached by an off-leash dog, or are in an otherwise stressful situation. If you have a giant breed dog and you are not exceptionally tall, you can modify this by having your dog go between two items, instead of between your legs. For example, criss-cross two brooms and prop them up to create a tall triangle for them to go between. Level Up: Adding Movement You can really take this up a notch by adding movement and having your dog walk with you in this position. This requires MAJOR focus from your dog! If you want to get really fancy, you can even lure their paws onto your feet and have them walk that way! We're excited to see where you guys take this.
