My 8 month old dog won't release the Frisbee when I play with him, what’s the best way to teach a dog to return and toy and release it?
Full Question:
I have an 8 months old American Staffordshire Terrier... He knows basic obedience (sit, down, beg, stay) but I don't really know how to make him release the Frisbee once he got it? I have tried to throw one Frisbee while keeping another one with me to lure him to me. Once he got to me he released the one he just got to get the one with me and then I would throw the other one... This does not seem to be working.What is the best way to teach a dog to bring things to you and 'Aus' them as requested?
Best Regards,
Freitas
Cindy's Answer:
A Frisbee is a more difficult item to teach the OUT with than a tug. I would teach the dog rules of play with a tug FIRST, and then transfer it to the disc. If your dog won’t return a toy to you, then he shouldn’t be allowed to play right now.
I’d recommend The Power of Playing Tug with Your Dog. You can click on the link and read the description of what’s on the video (it’s over 5 hours of really great info).
I hope this helps. Cindy
