Love your signature picture, Nathan . Very sweet.
Maybe once Kiba is into chasing other balls or toys rolled along the ground (not tennis balls), he'll get over the tennis ball thing. Then you can re-introduce the tennis ball to chase, only in order to get him over the feeling he has now toward them. Tennis balls aren't so great for their teeth. The surface combined with the glue used is almost like sandpaper against the tooth enamel.

Nathan,
as far as him not bringing the ball back to you have you tryed calling him back and he just wont come? If so bring out two or three balls and once you toss one and he gets it show him the other ball and call him, he should come to you and drop the other one waiting for you to toss a new one (this will be a good way to teach him the OUT command (or what ever word you want to use))
As far as the Natural diet goes i cant say i have any experience but there is a forum here that is all about the natural diet and i always hear good things about it.

Nah, he just decides to go grab it, then I clap my hands and say 'bring' and he comes back but just drops it where he found it. I'll try the multiple ball thing, maybe that will work. Thanks.
Even adult dogs like to chew on wicker, straw, etc. I think it's probably a bad plan, because I think they will chew off pieces and swallow them. They are pretty sharp.
I feed fresh food, and many other forum members do too.
Nathan, as far as the raw diet. I'd say it's great. IMO, this is the best place to learn about it and Connie is one of the best people I know for any questions. She has helped me a ton
How about teaching the putting-into-your-hand part separately, with marker and rewards?
Sounds like a plan! That seems like a much better approach then what I've had so far.

Alright, I'm gonna stop him then. Too bad for him...that was his favorite thing to chew on! (Oddly enough, even over a bone I gave him)

Many people have told me that the natural diet was better so I guess its ideal to change right away. I'll follow the links for now but would it be alright if I asked you if I had any questions, Connie?

Yes. MANY people here will answer your questions (me too).
The links will answer many, too. :>
IMO, feeding real food is a good thing to do for your dog.
There are a couple of crucial concepts (primarily NOT to feed a meat diet with no bones, or otherwise flout the calcium-phosphorous rato), but I think that if any beginners followed either of the Leerburg sample menus exactly at first, then they would quickly see what a balanced diet looks like and would be able to introduce variety.
