5 exercises where horse liver works especially well

Start in a quiet environment. Say your recall word once in a happy tone. When the dog comes all the way to you, reward with 12 cubes of horse liver. Feel free to release the dog again afterwards, so recall doesn't always mean the fun stops.

2. Contact exercise in the environment

Wait for the dog to voluntarily look at you. Mark with a click or “good job”, and reward immediately. When the exercise works, you can train closer to distractions.

3. Loose leash walking

Reward the moments when the leash is slack. Start with a few steps at a time. If the dog pulls, stop calmly and only reward again when the leash slackens.

4. Stay and settle

Ask the dog to sit or lie down. Say “stay”, take a small step back, return and reward calmly while the dog is still in position. Slowly build up duration and distance.

5. Nosework light

Show the dog a small piece of horse liver. Hide it visibly first and say “find it”. Gradually make it harder by hiding the treat behind a chair leg, under a cup, or in the grass.

Worth knowing before purchase

If your dog has a sensitive stomach, you should introduce horse liver slowly. Start with a few cubes and monitor digestion. If your dog has special medical conditions, is on a medical diet, or has known allergies, snacks should always be consistent with the vet's plan.
