Keep in
mind
that in
a dog's
world,
looking
at
another
dog or
person
in the
eyes is
considered
threatening
so be
patient
while
teaching
this
command.
Some
puppies
are very
uncomfortable
looking
other
dogs or
people
in the
eyes.
As you
gain
your
puppy's
trust,
he will
learn
how to
look you
in the
eye when
you call
and look
for your
next
command.

Start
off by
having
the
leash
and
collar
on your
puppy
and
treats
in hand.
When
your
puppy is
looking
away,
call his
name.
Right
as he
turns
his head
to look
at you,
say
"Watch
Me",
then
give the
treat.
When the
puppy is
dong
that
consistently,
start
luring
the
treat up
towards
your
eyes to
teach
him to
look you
in the
eye.
Right
when he
looks
into
your
eyes
(even if
it's
just a
fraction
of a
second),
reward
with the
treat.
Hold the
treat
near
your
eyes for
longer
and
longer
periods
of time,
before
rewarding,
to teach
him to
keep
looking
until
you give
your
next
command.
