She will reposition onto the ball part (with a little assistance form me) once she has it. How do I fix this?

With an older dog, you have to be quick and move the ball in such a way that the dog gets the ball and the string is not so accessible. Takes practice and you gotta be quick!

If I'm holding a rope tug horozonally, she'll target the middle, then work to the end before giving it hell! I think it's an aiming/coordination thing with younger dogs. But I could be wrong! Sasha
