Alright, let’s have some fun. This is a cute, simple game that's fun and helps increase your dog’s eye contact with you! Prerequisite: Your dog should have a solid Place / Climb / Platform (whatever you call it) where they can stay put. How the game works: 1️⃣ Put your dog on place. 2️⃣ Have their food ready (meal or training food). 3️⃣ Start a few steps away and look at your dog. 4️⃣ When your dog makes eye contact, take a step toward them. 5️⃣ The moment they break eye contact — you stop moving. 6️⃣ When they re-engage and look back at you, move closer again. 7️⃣ Repeat until you’re right next to them and they’re giving you great eye contact. 8️⃣ Mark with “YES” and reward — either the full meal or a variable amount of food. Reset, try again, and repeat. Reward them for staying on place and choosing to look at you. This should feel fun, calm, and engaging — not rushed. I can’t wait to see everyone’s videos 👀🐶 Post them below and/or under "Eye Contact Game 💪 CHALLENGE" 💥🐾

Sandy was doing some training with my mom so she could practice working with someone else. At the end she decided just to be sure she got a treat that she would put all four paws on the spot. Please enjoy 🤣

Hi all cool dog humans 👋 Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! 🎉 I hope everyone had a great break filled with love, family, friends, and lots of doggo kisses 🐶💋 I’m really excited for 2026. I’ve got lots of fun ideas to keep growing this space, having fun, and doing cool stuff with our doggo best friends. One thing I want to start adding in here is random dog facts — little nuggets that help you understand your dog better. Random Dog Fact: Did you know dogs make eye contact with humans way more than they do with other dogs? 👀 That’s because eye contact with people is largely a learned behavior. Dogs learn that looking at us leads to good things — information, connection, praise, rewards. You can encourage this by marking and rewarding eye contact during training. Every look is a moment worth reinforcing. Question for you: Does your dog naturally check in and make eye contact with you — or is that something you’ve had to work on? 👀🐾
