I've only really noticed this lately, now my girls getting better a playing tug I've found she seems to be targeting my hands. It doesn't seem to matter how much of the tug she has to aim at or where it is, she seems to either just miss or get my hands! Why do they do this, I've got the tug DVD which is why she's been getting better (gotta go back over this section soon) but is there a reason she's doing this? or is it maybe just poor aim/control??

I had the same problem, I took a video of myself playing and I saw that 90% of the time it was me positioning the tug wrong and I would get the hand closest to my body bit or almost, whether the tug went left or right. Pull back don't slide side to side is what i remind myslef all the time. Praticing what is in the tug DVD with no dog acutally helped alot, and its funny cause before I had the dvd and wasnt doing it quite right, I had no issues but when I did it right it brought her drive up and started getting nipped. Pratice with no dog and see what happens it really helped me. Good Luck

Thanks Kyle, that's exactly what's happening to me the hand closest to my body and getting worse as her drives coming up. I'm off to practice thanks again!
