How do I teach my dog to leave objects alone?

Asked a year ago

When I am busy doing house chores she will pick up all the random things I am busy with and make a game out of it. Obviously this is cute but sometimes annoying when I am in a hurry and just want to get done. She has her own toys but only wants what I am busy with. What can I do about this?

I would start using cues with her such as “leave it”. In the beginning when she starts doing this, use the command and be stern. When she drops the item, reward her with a treat or praise. Continue this process until she understands. Also using a clicker in this situation will make training easier.
