Public training pattern 1-3 min Level 2 calm
Handler counting a 1-2-3 treat pattern with a dog on leash.

How to try it

Start with the easy version.

  1. Say one, two, three in the same calm rhythm.
  2. Deliver a treat on three.
  3. Repeat while moving away from the hard thing.

Common mistake: Counting faster when the handler gets nervous.

Track: How many patterns your dog can follow before needing more distance.
