Collar grab

The "collar grab" referred to in the data is a training game for dogs, aimed at creating positive associations with the action of grabbing a dog's collar. Susan Garrett explains that the collar grab game involves grabbing the dog's collar before giving it a treat, thus conditioning the dog to associate the action with positive outcomes. This training helps in situations where quick control over the dog is necessary, making the dog see the collar grab not as a threat but as part of a familiar, positive routine. It's especially useful to cultivate consistent and safe responses from the dog, even in potentially dangerous or urgent situations 1.
