Training methods used in Positive Reinforcement Training (shared from HealthyHoundz.com)

Method #1
Luring is when you guide your dog by holding a treat in front of their nose.
The dog’s body follows their nose
It’s important to fade out the food lure as soon as you can, or the dog will only perform the behavior when they have a treat in front of their nose.
It's also very important not to lure your dog to do something that is worrisome or scary to them.
