ı am tryıng to work on competition style heel(Fuss), and competition style Brrrring(retrieve)the dumbell, with Pedro (3 year old GSD)
But i am afraid, doing something wrong.
He's fine on leash but as soon as i let him go he runs and gets a stone, rock and comes back.
Cant consantrate on kongs, bite bars,tug or anything else.
All he's life is stones around.
I tried to praise him with stone, he's crazy.
He has no interest on food reward, no drive like eating, even he is starving..
Carrying stone gives harm damage to his teeth.I say AUSSS(drop) twice or more, then he leaves but cant take his eyes off of that rock
Is he stone freak?
How can i teach a 3 year old mature to give up playin with stone or teach retrieve competition style?
yeah yeah im sorry..
sounds i got more than a problem and 2 wishes
- Pedro cant consantrate on me
- Pedro is stone freak ( hope theres no stone&rock pieces around on field)
- Not only competition heel, i want competition style retrieve, sits right behind and LOOK in my eyes not around.
He starts chewing and running around me.

I'll toss this out as a suggestion:
Take some big backward steps with training. Forget about heeling and retrieving and concentrate on focus. Start this work inside the house, where stones and distractions are not a problem, and don't add any distractions (like moving outdoors)until his focus is rock solid inside the house. When you start adding distractions take baby steps and take it slow.
Was he taught with markers? If not, you may want to read this and use it in your training:
Sounds like you have a recall problem, as well. If he's disobedient off-lead then keep him on a leash when you work with him...even in the house. Don't give him the opportunity to blow you off.
I have found it really helpful for certain things to just go back to square one and start over. Forget what you think your dogs knows because if you're having problems he doesn't know it well enough It sort of seems like you need to get some of the basics down before moving on to the other stuff.
