Leave It vs Drop It: The Most Misunderstood Commands in Dog Training

Many dog owners use “leave it” and “drop it” like they mean the same thing—but they don’t. And mixing them up can actually slow down your dog’s training and create confusion.

In this episode of the KISS Dog Training Podcast, Mike of KISS Dog Training in Shawnee, KS (serving the Kansas City Metro), Mike breaks down the clear difference between these two essential commands and why using them correctly makes training faster, smoother, and more effective for both you and your dog.

You’ll learn:

 🐾 The simple difference between leave it and drop it
🐾 Why confusing these cues causes training problems
🐾 How to teach leave it step-by-step to build impulse control
🐾 How to teach drop it without creating conflict or tug battles
🐾 Why these two skills are critical for preventing future behavior issues

By the end of this video, you’ll know how to use leave it to prevent problems before they start and drop it to safely get items back from your dog—without stress or frustration.
