YEAH!!!!!!! Congrats Dale, glad to see this is paying off for you smiley for :)

(I knew it would!)To invite your dog to come back into you, I find it important to move backwards, then while I am tugging with one hand, I pick up the leash, and start to run in
a circle, perhaps at first just a few steps, then backwards again, tug tug tug, and then throw the ball. I would like to see the dog jumping up to you and wanting to tug before I would add any obedience, and we will be starting with just a sit.
I would also like you to now interject popping the ball or tug or whatever you are using, into the dogs mouth and then start the moving back, tug of war game again. I hate throwing the reward away from me as I want the dog to understand that the toy is just a "vehicle with which to play the game". Hope YOU are having fun too! These movements help the dog not to want to take the toy away, but involve you!!!!!!
