Yes. With a smart but stubborn rescue dog and others.
The Zak George video
on this and lots of patience is the method we used, as taught by our trainer. The video will describe it better than I can write it.Top 3 tips:
1) Start easy
2) Remember (at least for a longgg time and even after she’s nailed it), you always need to be rewarding with something better than the thing they’re leaving if possible
3) Reward in the instant split second they make the first move to leave it.As ever with dogs, this is something you’ll keep needing to fine tune over the years.

Anyone managed to train a successful leave it command with there dog? Nori is an older ex street dog so we've not had much success. I've stopped all but one person treating her in the park but the last time we saw him i felt i had zero control over her and shock result it kicked off this morning when he was feeding 4 dogs at the same time. My normal action would to of been to walk/drag her away as soon as another dog arrived but my partner had her and is a little less quick to respond.
