Hello All,

I recently adopted a 10 week old female GSD. She has good food and prey drive, but I'm trying to build her prey drive even more.
She currently will chase and bite a piece of felt or pretty much anything I present to her. I have the Building Drive and Focus DVD and I am employing the techniques presented in it.. Its great. My question is.. I purchased a small orbie on a rope and I'm wondering if I build drive with this and she takes it in her mouth should I pull it out. I've done it a couple times and I can hear her teeth raking across it. Do you think this would build drive because she lost it or diminish her drive. I dont know how fragile pups teeth are. I wouldnt want to hurt her. I also present it on one side let her try to chomp down on it and then go behind my back and present it on the other side. She gets it alittle bit but not all that great. But hey shes a pup.. I'm just wondering what you guys think.. Thanks in advance..

Starbuck loves the Orbee on a 4' nylon whip. The DVD tells us to minimize the "AUS". I don’t even use the command, I just kind of pry it away from her and then we continue to play.

I’d also like to know the best way to end the play time. I usually wait for her to get a little tired and then the last time she lets go of the ball I put it away.

Hi i am reading and looking up Prey drive, Is it an inborn thing with some dogs or does it have to be taught to a dog. My Shepherd Fred lives in a run and Kennel outside, He comes into the house twice a day for 20 minutes or so. that is more than enough for me to lose a bit of weght going after him. Today the phone rang whilst he was in the room i answered it and put the phone back on the reciever, the next minute Fred had taken off the phone and was goeing out to the kichen with it. if you put anything down he will go back and pick it up he sure keeps me on the move whist he is in the house

David, at 10 weeks old, I would let her keep the ball for as long as she wants it if you're using it to build drive, it's her "prize". Praise her a lot when she gets the ball. In fact try to get her to run alongside you while she's carrying it. She'll feel very proud \:\) . When she eventually drops it, start over.

Keith, same thing as above, and playtime should end with her still still wanting more of the ball, still in drive, just before she gets tired.
