Everybody has different ways to teach how dogs balence treats on their nose. It took T.j a couple months because I started with him knowing the word leave it. Then I started stacking them up on T.j's paws. Notice there on his paws in this picture and everytime he thought about eating them I said "leave it" after he left it, I had a party so he knew that it was really good.

Basically I hold T.j's muzzle and put the treat on is nose, saying leave it. Then I give him a treat. Increasing the time of holding his muzzle. Then once I know he gets the picture I let go of his muzzle and say leave it and then his word that says he can go get it is ok. I also use OK as a get up word from sit or a come as a agility word.
