Jamie Bell Webboard User Reg: 07-14-2015 Posts: 6 Loc: Offline	I have a 6 month old GSD and looking for advice on best bite pillow for training young dogs. I bought a small one from Leesburg, which is very well made, but too thick and hard for her to grip it well. If she cannot get a good grip, she soon gets discouraged and bored. Thanks!

Often times a new trainer can create more issues then good training without really understanding the work. I say this because you pup getting discouraged and bored can possible be your presentations of the bite pillow. It could also be working to long on the same thing. Puppies often have lousy attentions spans. Ellis has a great group of videos and one is all about tug work for for training. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

It's all in the grips, and experience will help sort that out. I got the same reactiobn from the mature GSD that I adopted. She was used to small housedog type toys, and refused jute tugs and bite pillows when I tried to introduce them. However, when the helper presented them during a bitework training session, she instinctively struck them straightaway and deeply. Now, she will immediately and surely bite anything presented to her. At six months, your GSD is ready to bite. You need to get with some experienced helpers and teach him correctly, and the boredom and half-hearted attempts will exttinguish themselves. Sadie
