This is similar to how I taught "watch me", except the treat was held up out of reach, so no sniffing/pawing. First held by my nose, when she looked "GOOD WATCH ME!" Then I'd hold my arm out to the side at shoulder level with treat in hand and wait for her to look at my face....."GOOD WATCH ME!"
Then switch hands, hold behind my back, straight up over my head, etc., etc.
