Hey guys.....Yeah me AGAIN.. haha. Building prey drive. Only thing I can get her to go nuts about is her blue racquetball.Ive bought three different tugs. The one i bough today was call the Kong Wubba. Has a squeaker in it. Show interest at first. We played for about 10 minutes in the yard. Was showing good grip and pulling really hard.
Once it was time for her training this evening we went to the field. played around a little with no toys. I finally broke our the Kong.....nothing at all. She kept going to the car looking for her ball. I finally gave in and done my training with the ball> I've basically bought about everything on walmart's and tractor supply's shelves these past 3 months looking for something.
She seldom show interest in those type of things. Only when she is in certain moods. I try to take advantage of those times every time i notice interest.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm up to try anything. I do marker training and very rarely use corrections at this point. 2yr old female GSD. Her interest levels vary a lot. it might be genetics or something i Cant change. ??????

Got a power-drill?
Run some marine rope through the ball.

haha......I bought the rope tonight. I got her playing with the kong tonight, I got down on all fours with the kong under me. Kinda teasing her to make her get it and she was making that whining/growling type high pitch noise. She even got a hold of my foot and wrist. Didnt feel well. She didnt do it on accident either. I guess got really excited. Should i correct that when she does it? I didnt because i felt that would be useful later on. Either way i think im gaining ground.

Jeremy,

Have you tried letting new toys marinade in dirty laundry for a couple of days before introducing them?

For whatever reason my dog prefers to play with things that carry my scent.

I have not tried this. But I will give it a shot. Thank You!!
