I'm doing tug work with my pup but have not started the out.. Is it better to Mark with a Yess!! or should I use the AUS command once he spits the first tug? what do you recommend to work more on.. ball (drive work) or tug?.. Something worth mentioning is that the pup is 4 months old .. i'm supposing that teething will begin soon.. so maybe ball /drive building will be better? but I will still need to give him success once in a while..

Well that makes some sense.. But I personally see that each item has it's place in training.. Also a ball is easier to hide and use for obedience later on....
