In this episode of the KISS Dog Training Podcast, Mike of KISS Dog Training in Shawnee, KS (serving the Kansas City Metro) breaks down three powerful, practical techniques every dog owner should be using: hand feeding, redirection with “leave it”, and rewarding your dog for their hard work.

Learn how hand feeding can strengthen your bond, improve focus, and create better engagement during training. Mike explains when and how to use redirection effectively—especially by practicing the “leave it” cue—to help dogs make better choices without frustration or punishment. Finally, he dives into why rewarding your dog matters, how to reward correctly, and how positive reinforcement builds confidence, trust, and long-lasting results.
