Once your dog is comfortable pressing the Hub's touchpads, you can begin to phase yourself out of the process. This means that you will no longer give the "touch" command or offer verbal encouragement. You will simply point to the touchpads with a stick, and drop treats for your pup when they're pressed. This will help encourage your pup to engage with the Hub even when you aren't around. Soon, your dog will be playing independently!
