How to teach 'leave it'- without intimidation

This video explains how to teach 'leave it' using the clicker training method. Not only is this method the most effective, but it also builds a dogs desire to find and interact with their owner OVER distractions. Using punishment while training leave it, diminishes yourself as something reinforcing to interact with.

Now I don't have a dog but I will probably get one in the future, and if I train my dog with this method and it's successful, what if there's one time when I give the 'leave it' cue and the dog leaves it (for example a plate of human food) but then some seconds later decides to taste the food, what do I do?

Just take the food away without saying a word or saying 'leave it' again and hope that the dog will back away?

She mentions that in another video that if you are having trubble, use something the dog is less interested in

It is good to feed raw

I feed my dogs raw food for s daily meal mixed with dry.

Do you research.

You know nothing of dogs obviously
