It's your choice game

This is a great way to teach a dog impulse control by playing a game. I learned this one from Susan Garrett . Start by holding treats in a closed hand, not allowing the dog to have any until he backs away. Once he backs away, open your hand and if he stays back, offer him a treat. If he charges back to you, close your hand. This “game” can help with a lot of unwanted behaviors, while still making it fun for you and the dog.
