Khoi you may have a point I don't always kennel them and she may be getting dogging (cares more about the other dogs then me). I'll see if I can get that video that you guys mentioned.
Pat I think you are right going by your explaination of how your puppy charged after the ball but didn't bring it back, I'll try the toy vs tug to see which one she preferrs.
John I thought that maybe a problem being that I work her last of the three, I may have to work her 1st which would give her a 45-55 minute cool down before feeding. And we both can end training on a positive note. Having a new puppy in the house is like having a forigen exchanged student, they don't quite know what you mean or understand the customs. I'll get the video. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Hi Don - you mention that your pup might be becoming more doggy than you would like - do you play/trian your dogs together or seperatly?
If seperatly this shouldnt really be an issue.
My older dog went through the same thing were he would only bring it so far back but this was only because he wanted the ball so badly - sometimes i think he would explode if he didnt get the ball. After throwing the ball i would call out his comand and for the most part once he got to me i would let him keep the ball so that he didnt think he was always losing it. And as an aside i would teach him to jump up to me to give me the ball - which to him was another game.
In time when i call him he started to bring it back every time - i still have to choke him out to realease the ball, ironically this doenst effect his out on the sleeve at all.
Don, comparing a puppy to a foreign exchange student is a good analogy, which by the way is hilarious. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Tim that sounds like my pup, I'll give that a try let her keep it sometimes, maybe do the two ball training so she will drop it to get the other one. That might work, thanks.
Yeah, John sometimes I think she doesn't understand english (I know they don't really), there was a time (9-10 week old) when she never like riding in the Jeep, now I call "Out" and "Go get in the fence" my two dogs jumps out and run to the fence, she just peeks out of the rear hatch and I have to wait her out or bribe her.
Sometimes that Pup, "Pow right in the Kisser", (Jackie Gleason show 1960s sometime, a long, long time ago). I really wouldn't hit her, she makes me smile most the time with her bound less energy and speed.
One of my dogs loves going in the car. The other one used to hide when he knew it was time to go. Thankfully he has outgrown that now, and jumps in with very little persuasion.
After taking your suggestions and noticing what she doing she getting better, its almost a retreive the 1st time all the way, then the others are within yard and she downs chews on it between her legs. So its that she cares for the ball too much, not that she lost intrest in it.
The two ball thing she doesn't even notice when I pick it up the 1st ball. Its almost working great!
Now I need to working the circling tug hold on the long lead. Lets see hold how she does it, will she circle and try to keep it like the male GSD, until I out him or will she win it, kill it and bring it to me like the female Rottie I use the out anyway.
