I practiced watches with Tilda today. The watch or watch me command is where your dog makes eye contact with you. It's a good way to get your dog to focus on you, if the dog knows the command. It depends on your dog's level, if your dog is just learning the command you can't plan on having him/her stare at you. If your dog already knows the command fairly well or is advanced with it you can work with your dog so that he/she stares at you. Your dog gets the treat once he/she has made eye contact or is staring at you, depending on the level. If you want to make it even harder, you can hold your arms out and hold treats in your hand. It's just the same thing, your dog doesn't get the treat until he/she has made eye contact or is staring at you.
Tilda also had some practice on comes/staying in the yard today. She did pretty good.
