Teaching the Full Rotation

Hold a treat right at your dog's nose and draw a slow circle. Move slowly enough that the dog follows with their whole body, not just their head.

If a full turn is too much, split it. Lure a half-circle, mark, and reward. Then lure the other half. Once both halves are smooth, combine them into one rotation.

Most dogs find one direction easier than the other. Start on their easier side so early wins come fast and they stay confident.
