Question
My young dog won’t play the “two ball” game. He is happy to just possess one ball and isn’t interested in the second one. Which Michael Ellis video deals with possessiveness?
Answer
Michael Ellis on Possessive Dogs
Advanced Concepts in Motivation
I would say that I would not be throwing a ball for a dog showing this kind of possession until I balanced out the possessiveness. I would make all play interactive. In other words, the dog would be playing
with me AND the toy, I would not be throwing the toy for him to possess (at least at first) I also have a very possessive GSD (mine is 9 months old).
You may want to watch Power of Playing Tug first, as the Motivation video builds on that but if you have a lot of experience playing with dogs it may or may not be necessary. I hope this helps.
