- Sit near the curtains with your dog and discreetly draw his attention to them, when he touches them reward and reinforce the touch and then withhold the reward which will encourage him to try to grab them.
- When he holds the curtain confidently move so that you are waiting in the direction that he needs to pull it.
- Call your dog and when he pulls the curtain along reward with lots of reinforcement praise and a treat.
- Repeat for the other curtain.
