5.5 Step 3: Taking 4-6 Steps
Repeat Step 2, standing far enough away so
that Fido has to take 4-6 steps to reach the
target. When he can perform this 9 out of
10 times in a row, go to Step 4.
5.6 Step 4: Adding the
Verbal Cue
Right now, Fido’s cue for touching the
target is your visual presentation of the
target. Now you will add a verbal cue so
that in the future you’ll be able to get him
to target even if he’s not looking in your
direction when you give him the cue.
Start by saying the word “Target” once in
a distinct and loud manner so that your
dog is likely to orient in your direction.
Then immediately present the target. Your
voice should cause him to orient and then
the first thing he will see is the target.
After several repetitions, he will get the
idea that the word is always followed by
a presentation of the target; therefore
to him, the word will mean he should go
and touch the target. If when your dog
is looking away from you he won’t orient
towards you at the sound of the verbal
“target,” then start by saying the word and
presenting the target when he’s already
looking at you.
5.3 Step 1: Presenting
the Target
Put a small dab of wet dog food, peanut
butter, or something tasty onto the target.
Then with Fido facing the Treat&Train™
system, present the target at his chin level
several inches away but close enough
for him to reach with an outstretched
neck. When he reaches out to sniff the
target, TONE & TREAT and simultaneously
remove the target. (Make sure you watch
the video since most people perform this
step incorrectly unless they’ve watched
the DVD). If he knows the TONE & TREAT
association well, he should immediately
run to get his treat. If he’s not that
motivated for the food or doesn’t know the
association well, or you have not removed
the target from in front of his face, he will
take his time. If Fido doesn’t try to touch
the target, remove it and present it a
little closer. When he can touch the target
immediately upon visual presentation 9
out of 10 times in a row, remove the food
on the target and go to Step 2.
TIP: If at any point Fido does not
respond to your visual presentation
of the target, avoid moving it closer
or your dog will train you to move
the target closer. Instead, remove the
target and then re-present it closer.
5.4 Step 2: Taking 1-3 Steps
Present the target far enough from Fido
so that he has to take 1-3 steps to reach
it. TONE & TREAT when he touches it.
Remember to start with the target out
of view and once he touches it, remove it
while simultaneously activating the TONE

Step 4: Adding the Verbal Cue
Say “Target.” Then after your dog
looks, quickly present the target at
his nose level.
NOTE: If you say the cue word and
present the visual cue at the same
time, it may take Fido a longer time
to learn that the cue word means
the same as the visual cue. That’s
because he has no reason to learn
the second cue. The visual cue is more
noticeable and will block his learning
of the second cue that’s presented
at the same time. In psychology,
this phenomenon is called blocking.
The take home message? Be sure to
present the verbal cue first followed
quickly by the visual cue.
& TREAT. When he touches the target immediately upon presentation 9 out of 10
times in a row, go to the next step.
In this and the following steps, it's important to be ready to target again as soon as
Fido eats his treat so that he knows within a second what you want him to do next.
