WATCH
Watch command is important as it teaches your dog to pay attention to you. To teach your dog ‘watch’ command, don’t put him into ‘sit’ or give any other command.
While teaching ‘watch’, remember to stand properly to interact, as you need to train his eyes to focus on your eye level. Mix the command with other training commands like ‘sit’, ‘stay’ so that the dog doesn’t just follow a pattern and actually learns the command you’re trying to train him. Place the bait near your chest to get his attention and give the command ‘watch’. If he’s already watching your face, don’t use any bait. Treat your dog occasionally to train him the command without the bait. It’s a good idea to have distractions while teaching ‘watch’. When the dog looks away, give your correction sounds to get his attention back.
