Things You'll Need
- Broomstick, board, or other long, slender object
Instructions
Determine the boundaries for the restricted area. For example, the doorway into a room is a good boundary and easy to teach to your dog. Place a broomstick or other boundary marker at the entrance to the room.
Call or walk your dog over to the boundary. Sit him in front of the marker.
Get the dog's attention, then tap on the marker, and say "Out."
Take a step forward over the boundary marker. When your dog breaks and follows you, tell him "Out" and point back to where you want him to go. When he returns to the other side of the boundary, praise him.
Repeat the process of reprimanding your dog when he crosses the boundary. Eventually you'll be able to remove the boundary marker without having him enter the restricted area.
