The Touch Game is a training technique where you teach a dog to touch your hand with their nose. Most dogs pick up this trick really quickly. The easiest way to do it is to touch their nose with the palm of your hand, say "touch" and then give them a treat. Repeat this a few times then, instead of touching their nose, put your hand in front of it and wait for them to touch their nose to your hand. Once they do that, give them a treat. It's best to practice this often, holding your hand away at different lengths or even up in the air to get them to jump and touch your hand. This trick works really great as a way to get your dog to come to you or when you're doing Rally or Obedience and need a visual to help keep your dog at your side at the right position. In this video are my 5 year old Rottweiler Wrigley, 11 year old Boston Terrier Shelby and my "nephew" Bud, a 4 month old Bullmastiff.
