| I taught my boys the "Leave it" command. I started by putting them in a sit possitions and holding a treat in front of their noses and saying "Leave it." If they tried to reach for it, I would pull it away and say "Leave it." They aren't allowed to have a treat or eat their food until I say "okay." When on walks, I see them reaching for a rock, twig, or leaf and say "Leave it" and they walk right by it! It took awhile, but it works!
