The focus game is designed to encourage your puppy to offer natural attention without being asked. Rather than cueing your puppy to look at you, you are rewarding them for choosing to check in on their own. Each time your puppy looks towards you, mark with “yes” (or a click) and reward. This helps your puppy learn that giving attention is valuable and worth repeating. Building this kind of natural focus is an important foundation for all other training, as it creates a puppy who is more engaged, responsive, and ready to learn.
