Some people have asked me what to do when they tell their dog to "watch me" and hold a treat to their forehead. What happens sometimes, is that the dog will take his eyes off of you as you move the treat away from your face. This is easily remedied.
Using a clicker (preferred method, but not necessary) slowly move the treat away from your face and then wait for the dog to look back at you as if to say "what's going on". At that precise moment use the clicker or reward with the treat. The dog needs to learn that it is when "looking you in the eyes" that he/she is rewarded. Reward instantly when the dog makes eye contact!
