Sometimes i have her on her short line. Other times we are at the field and I do not there or while working with her in my house.
Aaron I will get back to the tug. I gave up on it a few weeks ago. I will start to work it back in. I will just keep tricking her with food and mark, and reward with another ball.....I will also start working in the tug.

Try using the line to keep her coming towards you, maybe in a large circle. While your guiding her in your direction,out her ball into your hand and immediatly flip it into the air where she can snatch it again and just keep going. See if she'll begin wanting to out it faster so you'll toss it again.

Sounds good Steve. I will def give that a try. When you say out in your hand, your not referring to me pulling it from her mouth are you, Or are you saying make her out(on her own) in my hand and then immediately mark and reward by flipping it up? Just making sure im on the right page.

Don't try to take it away, just have your hand in position to not let it hit the ground. No new pup. Thats Billy my older Shep. when he was a pup. He'll be 2 in Oct.

If you can find another toy she likes, use it. She may like it less but she'll out it quicker. Get that exercise imprinted then move to the ball.
If no other toy then, take her racquet ball, put a string through it, tie it to a tug, stake her out, then use the dual toy on a string and tease her up. Keep the ball at the top of the tug and only let her get the tug. Tying her out will keep her from getting the ball. When you get to a point she'll out the tug, swap ends so she'll get both tug and ball at the same time.
I disagree. To transfer to the tug you have to put the ball away, period. No playing ball, no training with the ball. The ball will just have to collect dust on a shelf for a while - a LONG while.

If she has no drive for the tug, you're going to have to manufacture it with the ball using a redirection type training. Whats the point in waving a tug in her face if all she does is go PPFFFTTT! at it?
I recently had a Dutchie who was pretty young. He was nutso for a water bottle with rocks in it but didn't give a flip about the rag or puppy tug. I used the very same method with this dog. He's now a total prey monster on anything that moves, including metal.
In this dogs' case I used the tug/bottle w/rocks....then removed the rocks so it was just tug/bottle. Then it was tug only and the mere presence of the bottle would bring a lightning speed out. The bottle was eventually totally discarded and the out then brought another invite to play tug again. Issue resolved.
