2.Have someone hold your dog's collar while you hide the item somewhere obvious at first.

3.Release your dog to go find it and click and treat him/her as he/she approaches it.

4.Gradually increase the difficulty by hiding it in more challenging places.

5.Find another item to practice with and try again.
