Voraus (Go Out)

Teaching a voraus begins with a target point, you can use a food bowl, target stick, ball hung from a tree.... Start with a short distance (5 or 6 feet), begin by putting the dog on a sit or down stay and putting the target out while they watch. Gradually increase the distance, and then begin putting the target out without the dog seeing. It is also helpful to teach the dog a physical cue for the behavior. You can put your hand near the dog's head pointed in the direction of the target before you send.
