DESCRIPTION: 
You have already powered up your clicker, played the box game, and taught your dog to communicate with you by sitting to ask politely, now it's time to focus on the next very important task focusing. Teaching your dog to make eye contact with you teaches him to pay attention to you. A dog who is paying attention to you is much easier to train than one who is looking for squirrels. This exercise teaches your dog to pay attention to you, but it also teaches you to pay attention to your dog. You will need to focus and watch carefully to see when those beautiful puppy dog eyes are gazing at you. Scientists have studied what happens when humans and dogs gaze into each other's eyes. Amazingly, they found an increase in levels of oxytocin, which is a hormone that increases feelings of well being. So this game could make you feel happy.
To begin, use shaping to encourage the dog to look toward you, then to look at your face, and finally to look at your eyes. As you work through training...
