Actually having the same problem. When she won't bring the toy back to me; I go in the house. Seconds later she is at the door looking in at me. When she drops the toy I open the door, she picks toy back up, I shut the door back. Once she leaves the toy after I open the door I treat her and pick up the toy and we start again. Literally, start the whole process again.

Sometimes I pull a ball out of my pocket that I know she likes better than the ones I am throwing to get her to drop. However, if I throw the favorite then I really lose my advantage.

Elizabeth, put a long line on her. She doesn't bolt when you are playing, just stays out of arm's reach? This will resolve a lot of this type of behavior and let you exercise her properly. Any rope will do, about 15-20 feet long. Just reel her in when she passes near you.

It doesn't resolve the underlying issue, but it will make your exercise sessions much more productive...

I think I took everyones advice...

First I ran her to get some of the energy out and make her a little more obedient (with training of "pull").Than I took off the harness, put her on the line and risked my ankles, being very careful where I was going to throw the ball/frisbee . When I called her back, as she passed I stepped on the line and she turned around. I was careful not to move and held out my hand. She tried a little teasing but when I didn't move she gave it to me in the hand (I had trained this already). I guess the problem probably came on because I was impatient for her to come to me and started going part way towards her. I really want to put on another video but have to find time...It is hard to draft a camera person.
It is frusterating because I know I am doing so many things wrong. It would be so much easier if I already knew how to do all of this training stuff. I want to thank all of you on this forum for all of your help, I have learned so much in the last several months from here. These days it is hard to find real help anywhere from real people that care. Thanks

Elizabeth, you might still have lots to learn, but I kinda remember a pretty awesome video is the contest this past summer... I was a bit envious. Ummm, you are doing some things very well.
