- Learning the proper way to play tug with your dog creates a solid bond for your relationship and training.
In this video I discuss the difference between tug and ball play and how to properly engage your dog in a game of tug to make it fun for your dog and successful for your dog training routine.
Using rewards, whether they are food or toys is critical to get a solid relationship of obedience with your dog.

"the dog learns to win" So well said, Robert 👏👏👏
My Giant Schnauzer did't want to let his tug go. So I brought in a second one, just as you said. He has both now.
😝
lmbo!
DaBomb Smokes lmbo?
@@sidhanthaneogi8615 Hope it is not that Imbo which google tells me it could be.
Fusspilzsammler aus Leidenschaft i think they meant to say lmao which means laughing my ass off but instead of ass it’s butt hence lmbo
I just watched a man teach me to play tug with a dog. ... I don’t even have a dog. But thought it was great how that dog hung on every word. Enjoyed the video.
I'm pretty new to real dog training. One thing I keep noticing about the better videos like this one, is that dog both respects and *trusts* the human. It's not based on fear. The dog knows that good things (food, treats, praise, affection, play) consistently happen when they engage with the people in an acceptable way. That makes a lot of sense to me.
Yes! I spend so much time conveying this simple concept to my clients. Be patient, be consistent, and make it FUN!
Robert has this way of making all of these things sound simple. He’s clear and articulates himself well.
"Dog's do not want the game to end; Humans ALWAYS end the game"

Bastards!
Love the videos. Thanks.
"It's" Pretty sad that you don't have the grammar skills to correctly spell the plural of "dog", which is "dogs", and most definitely not "dog's"
@@dasdimplz6885 it's pretty sad you don't know the difference between punctuation and grammar.
Lookout 👀 - Grammar Police! 🚔
Lol
It helps when you have genuine love for animals, especially dogs
The way you explain just makes sense to me. I really like your style of teaching. Thanks for the lesson, big thumbs up from me.
was going to say the exact same thing, it's pretty awesome to watch
Calm and thorough
I was watching hrs about training dogs, but way you explain... Its so logical and thorough... Its pleasure to learn from you!
I cannot be the only one here, but I don't even own a dog and I'm addicted to this channel
2:22 that brake and crash lol brilliant!
This video was brilliant! Thank you.
Outstanding video! I just subscribed and look forward to seeing more. Thank you!

THIS is the one I needed to see to help get my dogs engaged. Thank you Robert !!
I, too, believe in 'balance' and establishing a good bond with my best friend. I enjoy your training tips. Keep up the great work.
Good points .
Makes total sense .. I'm doing almost exactly what you do when playing thug with my dog but without having been trained to do it. Althoug this is the case I get tons of nuggets of tips and tricks along the way watching your vids. TY for sharing.
Thanks for the video bro!
That dog is amazingly cool.
Great video!
, Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thanx 👍🏼
Thanks bro you help me with my shepherd training exponentially first dog had no cue what I was doing thank you bro
Amazing trick.
Very nice!
Nice video , thanks for sharing
Yo Ross killing it with these dog videos
great channel, Thanks, I will put it to good use...God bless...doug
Great explanation :)
New to your channel, VERY nice quality work! Thank you
Omg!! You are the truth!
I never even considered how big the difference was. Tks.
Big bro is fire for the videos
I learned alot from your videos as i bought a dog for my kids and the dog ended up being my responsibility i had to learn how to train him and after 2 month searching found your videos that made all the difference. Most videos treat dogs like babies which was not working with my dog . Again thank you.
You are my new religion, Ima watch this over and over AND OVER till we all get it :) THANK YOU!!!!!
Absolutely love this. Been playing frisbee and tug with my rescued Malinois and I’ve realised I win more than she does :-(
Will correct this.
Thank you @robert Cabral
When my dog gets to win, he looks so proud and excited! So i let him win! Hearing you say that's a good thing, made my day!
Goofy is amazing! You've done incredibly training him!
I look up to you, I want to be as successful with my own dog, as you and Goofy!
Agreed, Robert's explanations about making training fun and rewarding for the dog to build his confidence and trust make a great deal of sense.
I always love your videos! That's it you've earned my sub! ❤
thank you
Awesome video..
Super helpful videos. Mega knowledge. Greetings from Poland.
I have a female GSD who is very healthy and ran everyday, but by watching this video I have realized that I haven't been mixing fun with obedience and command training, good to have something new to work on between owner and pet. new subscriber!
The best
Glad I'm not the only one that gets puffed out playing tug with my dog :) It is very interactive and great fun . Thank you : )
I LOVE playing tug with dogs. I'm always looking for dogs who are drivey for tug.
This is a great explanation. I see too many people ruin the value of tug by doing it wrong (who knew u could play ‘wrong’ with your dog?!? Lol but it’s true. You want them to be as engaged as possible and this method helps a ton.
I will say I personally disagree about the ball though. Some dogs (my own specifically) sees ball as an item that only I make fun. He can’t get it back to me fast enough and tosses it at me for another mini session of heeling or whatever before I toss it again. He has no interest in playing with it away from me. Maybe he’s an enigma but I just wanted to point out that some dogs are like that!
P.S. He’s a Belgian too, in case that wasn’t obvious from my user name 🙂
Yes Sir this is how I play with my 10 weeks Rotty telling him this is my toy and I have food treat bc he gets distracted right away I learn from you better than other people from You tube 🤙
Love your videos. We are learning so much. We just got a Malinois puppy and find these very helpful. We just became members also. Thank you so much!
🙏🏻
The game of tug can be a deep rabbit hole to dive into. Once you learn the subtle dance that is the great game of tug, it's like a paradigm shift.
wow, thanks for the explanation of the difference between a tug and a ball. No wonder my mal prefer her tug more than the ball :).
Thank you for the great video
Subscribed 👍👍👍 beautiful Mal
This is the most excellent dog training video I have seen. Robert explains the psychology brilliantly. I have a 4 month old Tervueren and we are already employing these principles with great results.
Thanks Sally... glad to help you train your pup!
I have a 10month old catahoula and I really wanna thank you for all the videos. I really identify with your philosophy of work and its been amazing to train with my dog. Plus I learned new things to motivate me and him even more. So thank you again for all these insightful simple explanations.
thanks for the kind words Fino
I'm realizing how much I'm doing wrong with my dog watching your videos, but we are both learning from them. Great videos still trying to find one to help my puppy from biting me and everything.
happy to help!
love these videos on training. Especially with the Malanois. We just got a little Maligator! Goodness, does the biting ever stop? I hope so. We love her, shes full of personality and I am watching your videos religiously to train her effectively! She is super smart.
this is great! also, what brand/type is the tug toy? looks very sturdy and fun for the dog. I'd like to get one like that. thank you for your videos!
It's really important you wrote that you release your grip on the toy also when you say "out". I make the mistake of trying to pull the toy out of my dogs mouth while saying the command which makes my dog release slightly and then bite down again and release slightly and bite down again a few times in succession because I guess my pulling confuses her into thinking I'm still trying to play while she is also trying to obey my command. I'll try releasing my grip next time I play tug with her at the same time I tell her to release her grip. Love the idea of letting your dog win sometimes! I do that with my dog and she loves playing tug of war with me
You are the trainer I’ve been looking for. Calm, simple, masculine and common sense approach. Subscribed right away
Thank you and welcome.
Your dog is very majestic and precise with his movements. My lab is like a bull in a China shop! I tried to do the through the leg trick and he put me on my back and twisted my ankle haha
Very good morning sir. I have been watching your videos. Thank u sir. Will u also explain the diet of the pet dog? All do's and don'ts?
Awesome video about the game of tug. I use a tug toy from time to time when I teach my Ruby. Sometimes she is more toy motivated than she is treat motivated. Sometimes she she do not even want the treat and I have no choice to resort to a toy.
Wow! This vid is pure gold on tug!! I will be watching and referring to this a lot!!! So ugh- the advice that you should win the tug more than the dog is bad advice then? Should you end the game by you or your dog winning or does it matter? ("they" also recommend that). Your info on dominance there is awesome. Thank you. Also- what if a dog you are dog-sitting (who was not taught to play tug politely) starts getting too mouthy/trying to grab toy when you have it? Ask for sits in between? THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
Glad I found this I like to follow the positive trainers. He does a great job of going from a down to a stand to a sit. Nice drive :)
Thanks Robert! Really liked the explanation. I've a service dog that loves this game and watching your video helped me better understand what was going on. One quick question if you have time. When I let her win she goes off and pull up the grass with her front teeth until i come get the tug toy. Any thought on how to stop this and why she is now doing? Thanks, Mike Schwartz and CHEVERLY (2 YEAR OLD Goldern)
Love watching your videos, I learn so much. I would like to know what tug you are using? I have not found one that lasts my dogs hard playing. Any recommendations ?
Thanks
New sub mate 👍🇦🇺
Awesome video! There is so much to know and understand because small things make huge differences. Whats the best way to end the playing time? Kind of contradicts the motto "when he brings it, we will play". So how do you end it?
This video could also be used to explain playing with kids.
Most of the children I know don't have that jaw strength.
Actually, kid training and dog training isn't really that different. ;-)
@@DenizenCain lol
@@sherriabbott9058 totally agree
What are the signs that you have an "engaged" dog? Is it perfect obedience? Velcroe behavior? Accepting affection? All the above? Thank you for all you do.
my friend has a beautiful orange golden retriever and she loves playing tug with me because she usually wins, now everytime i come over to my friend she sits on my feet because she likes me so much!!! I miss that dog everytime I think about dogs.
I notice at 2:25 when you say down, he comes out of the sit and then downs.
Listen closely at 4:15.... it is a game of you WITH the dog.... not VERSUS. It is not a competition... it is a cooperation for your dog's benefit. There is no winner and loser. The dog needs to play with the object and you need to control the game and the object FOR the dog to his benefit...

Thanks you're really helpful. This is what we call talent .I would watch all day.
thus is a great channel i have a 13wk pitbull and when i teach him down position sometimes he sits first no matter what
if he was taught that way and you can't undo it, then just let it be!
@@RobertCabralDogs 😂♥️😊 Agree.
My baby girl could pull my shoulders out of the sockets! Oh we played TUG-TUG. When she got a bit too rowdy, NO-TUG. Robert is nice and big and fit.
Sharon Sampson my amstaff pulls hard with my husband but not so much with wimpy me. But he’s old and docile.
Working on my pup now. He’s getting better, but seems slow at wanting to play more
That mal is beautiful.
Can you upload protection training? Please
I read the comments below. I agree you’re a good trainer/handler. You know how to get your point across with solid clips. Nice job!! BTW why did you get a Bel. Mal.? There are lots of other breeds?
That's awesome we got our 1st full blooded German shepherd puppy trying to put a lot of work in there but not working out the best yet... The trick is how do you get them to let go haha
I just adopted my bullmastiff 3 months ago, the third female in a span of 20 years. She's a 4 year old who had to have most of her teeth removed, but she does still have her canines. She loves to grab her toys and shake them around. Is playing tug a possibility using puppy-grade materials instead of something really hard?
Do you have a video on hand gestures for common commands like sit, down, stay, come, etc.?
I do have one in my member section at robertcabral.com
what about, and how to avoid the dog to get obsessed with toys? thanks a lot
I’ve always been told to not play tug with a puppy. Is that a true sentiment? Great videos, by the way! I look forward to watching and learning more.
If it's true, then it's too late for us..
I found your training style really similar with Nate schemers
ah good, a dog trainer that isn't abusive to the dog to train them. This dudes right you wanna play just like you would with a person. And if someone always beats you in a game, you wont wanna play them anymore (most people). I disagree that you should always let the dog win though, should be about 40/60 to 30/70% split
Lol I too like tug n ball play
Hello Robert, can you make a video how to teach the dog not become fierce when eating or when we put our hand to his bowl while he eating. Thanks.
Henry Corleone Sang He answered this in an “ask him anything” video! The simple answer was to hand feed the dog everything he eat including regular food, treats etc. until he learns that a hand holding/near food is a positive thing
I heard that if you play tug like you did, it increases the instinct of your dog to "play" tug on your arm or body part if he is aggressive /bites
He’s gorgeous
I dont think I've ever seen this level of obedience before. I've seen something fairly close but not the immediate response shown here.
Look up obedience competitions, this will blow your mind. This is what really hooked me up into this sports.
I have a Belgian Malinois mix who does this, and I don't even have to give her verbal signals. I get the leash, and she automatically sits. I bless whoever trained her, because she's awesome!
Great video thank you also where can I get a ball on a string ?
