@capd1 I think there’s some on this subreddit if you go to menu > resources, but if you search LAT online you’ll find some graphic and videos of how to do it. There’s basically 2 steps: As soon as your dog has spotted a trigger but has enough distance to not react, mark and reward. The dog may...

@jwyattharp I respectfully disagree. This is basically a couple steps just broken down into more concrete steps, so it seems complicated but it’s not. We do basically this exact same thing and it works perfectly! Person ignores dog. We walk around person for a bit until dog chooses to go sniff...
