Step 3 - Drop the ball into the Amazing Treat Machine
Fill the Amazing Treat Machine with treats, place it on the floor, and stand behind it. Give your dog a tennis ball then offer them a treat held a few inches above the Amazing Treat Machine. Instruct your dog to “drop it.” The tennis ball will fall into the Amazing Treat Machine and roll out the front along with some treats. Enthusiastically praise your dog while pointing out the tennis ball and treats that have rolled out. Encourage your dog to retrieve the ball and repeat this step.
Hint
Pick a fun phrase, like “Treat Machine” or “In the Chute,” to tell your dog to drop the tennis ball into the Amazing Treat Machine.
