Feb. Beginner Training Challenge

[CollieMan]

Objective:
Using positive training techniques only, teach your dog to touch the open palm of your empty hand with its nose, on command, from a distance of at least six inches away.

Example Demonstration:
One example of how this might be taught can be viewed here.

Important Information
As with all of the monthly challenges, it is important that you do not try to push your dog any further than it is willing or physically able to go. Remember, the challenges are just for fun, and this should be reflected in your approach to training.
