- One of the skills that we teach our puppies really early in their lives is how to "drop it". That's why in this video, I'm going to show you how to teach your puppy to drop things. Puppies explore the world with their mouths, so it's a great skill to teach your young dog, to avoid disaster, but also to demonstrate some leadership for your young and impressionable puppy. It's a fairly simple process and as you'll see, your puppy will find this exercise to be lots of fun!

Having a reliable “drop it” is an important part of playing “fetch” with your dog. If you’re looking for some tips to teach your puppy to have a speedy retrieve, check out this video from our channel: Teach Your Puppy To Fetch And LOVE To Bring The Toy Back - th-cam.com/video/gH1rZwolIZ4/w-d-xo.html
It’s nice to be back from Christmas break, I’m excited about 2019 on the McCann Dog Training channel! Happy Training! ~Ken
McCann Dog Training thank you!
Does not work with my labrador puppy. He's always onto me whenever I have treats no matter how odorless they may be. He's too distracted by the smell to give it a go at his favorite toy. He just keeps sniffing me all over.
You guys are amazing, in December I'm getting a Havanese puppy and you guys are helping me learn so much!
Thank you so much Ken 😌 I'm a faithful new friend and I really like this channel alot already! U have awesome lessons 🙂 pleased to meet you and your channel ☺️ pleasure to be here! See you soon 🔜 be safe
My dog drops things whenever I say "drop it". I didn't know why he did it, until my wife said she trained him.
😂😂😂
Perfect wife right there. :) :)
You should have noticed that she trained you the same way. ;-)
@@meMiner 😂 precisely!!
🤣
I need to try this with my shoes..especially when my foot is in it lol...
Same! If I wear boots with fur my dog goes crazy. 😳😬
I have the same problem 😃 hopefully we can put a end to this with the help of this amazing teacher 😃 great channel 👍 I love your advice ❤️🙏 awesome Job ☺️
@@thesun-N-moon8885 yes I have the same thing happening lately!! My favorite boots are getting destroyed 😂 no more of that stuff! I really think this is going to work for us all!! Lmk how it goes for you 😉 good luck with your training!!
Haaa oh lord I can't wait for this to happen
yah gotta teach a good "Leave it". Its key.
I literally started drop it training with my chocolate lab using treats as a trade and she got it right away, she now will play fetch and will grab the ball, bring it over, drop it and wait for the treat 😋 she now does it on her own without me saying drop it and if she has like a sock or some kind of cloth in her mouth and it's still in her teeth she shakes it out so it's on the ground then she gets a treat 🤗 so glad I got a lab, she's so clever
Wow! Your advice really helps me understand my puppy! Thank you!!!!
Ahhh yes - The Hide Behind the Couch Routine! I know it well, these days!! And, the round the trees, behind the rose bushes, under the lawn furniture... This video will be SO helpful - THANK YOU, KEN!
This is exactly what I needed to see! I've (we have) learned so much from your videos! Thank you!!
I am so happy that i found your Channel!!!! I was so lost before with my puppy. I just want to cry of joy and gratitude for your method. ❤️🐕
Ken your vids are awesome Iv watched nearly all them in preparation of picking our pup up next month. Thank you
This channel is by far the best of its kind on TH-cam. What a brilliant resource for training. We have a rehomed 19 week old Border ColliexGreyhound/Saluki 😊
Wonderful lesson. Very clear and comprehensive communication. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
This makes perfect sense. Thank you!
I wish I had this 20 years ago when I first got a puppy. We're about to be an 8 week old pugs family in a few days and are really getting a lot out of your videos. Thank you so much (from Australia).
What’s important is that you’ve got it now, Stacey! I’m glad you’re enjoying our channel. Happy Training with your new four-legged family member! ~Ken
These are great videos! Thank You!
Hello. We received "Buddy",our puppy, at 8 weeks. He's a "ROTTSHEP". His Dad is a full breed Rottweiler and his mom is a full breed German Shepherd. We want the best for him. Love,Care and Safety. Training tips that we have seen by your videos has been useful for him and for us. We need to work some more with him but he is responding great. Thank you very much.
Thank you for this awesome video this will help
Really useful information, appreciate it !
👍🏼 thank you for this great tip.
This is so helpful! I can’t wait to try this on my pup 💕
Glad you found it helpful, Michelle! Happy Training! ~Ken
Hahahahaah ken! Your thumbnails are killer!
I wanted to let you know that we truly appreciate your hard-work and attention to detail
This is video is need for my dog, Oswald, so much!
Quick successes! Thanks
This was so helpful thankyou so much! My ten week old puppy loves to fetch but hates to let go 😃
Hope this works. When my dog grabs something and I tell her to drop it, she makes me chase her around the room. Last thing she took was a skein of yarn. By the time she dropped it, it was all over the room.
Thanks, I’ll try to integrate this into my dog’s next dinner!
Thank you for great content....
Glad you enjoyed it, Victoria! Thanks for watching ~Ken
Thank you, Ken, for posting this at this time. It is the perfect follow up for me since I just started using the house line. I certainly wish I lived close to your facility. Your instructions are so clear and precise and I especially like that you give the REASON why you say to do each step. Congratulations on being such thorough trainers!!! I'd love for you to be able to meet my puppy, she's a real challenge, but worth every single frustration we overcome together.
You’re very welcome, Kathy! I’m glad you’ve found this video helpful. I will continue to post content every week here on TH-cam that will help you overcome those frustrations, but if you are looking for more specific training, with dynamic feedback you can certainly check out our My Dog Can online program which is linked in the description. Even if you don’t join me in our course, there are lots of videos here on the channel that are sure to help you! Happy Training! ~Ken
this works wonders!!!!!
Thank you
The best !
I love you guys!!
This method is so good 😊
Theoretically, I get it and like it. In reality, my pup just hangs on to the toy...even when it is completely still. He just hangs on and looks at me. So what do you do to get him to drop it initially?
In the past, I would use food to tempt him to drop it...and then after a couple of successful drops, I would then use your method of verbal cue, correct action then reward.
But at the next session, we were back to square 1 :|
I also tried the suggestion from your other video (swapping toys) - but puppy got SUPER DUPER excited and hyped and lost all focus.
I love this method! Although I have a REALLY smart dog and she remembers that I have treats in my hand so she doesn’t play enthusiastically. Every time I move my hand to my pocket she immediately drops the toy, so the command is void. Do you have any tips?
Using the "dead toy" "out" can be hard with some tough dogs. I've had to brace the tug against my thigh and myself against a wall with strong dogs, otherwise I'm just an extra weight to swing around on the other end of the tug ! It's more like a wrestling match with some dogs and a serious work out !
Picking up my blue heeler November 22
I see a Doberman in that group. Thank you!
Will be trying this today as my 14 week old puppy just thinks it's good fun to run off with the ball or wants us to play tug of war with every toy/item. Tried kibble and a few treats but didn't work so will be trying a higher value food that she loves.
I have tried so many ways to get my dog to drop her toys and this video really helped. Thank you
Doesn't work with my dog. He's a lab with a nose that can smell a treat a mile away. He knows when I have treats and when I don't. He doesn't listen when I don't have any treats.
James Smith you need to associate treats with verbal praise and massage or petting and condition this for a while until the attention is enough
I would also try mixing up between praise + treat and praise alone, so for example, after praising and giving him a treat, follow up with a couple times where you just praise him, even if you have a treat on you.
My 12 week old pup is an absolute nightmare with food too! If he smells it that's it his brain goes into overdrive and he starts jumping all over me or nipping me I'll stand and turn my back until he's calm but it never lasts long 😢
My dog too. She’ll just stare eventually nudging and sniffing the the “hidden” treats..
@@utopiascents we had this exact problem and used crate training along with conditioning the word "No."
We started like you trying to disengage but it didn't seem to stop the enthusiasm. Putting them in the crate til they calm down (and stopped whining) then trying again seemed to work with a verbal warning letting them know what they were doing was unacceptable.
The added benefit is since training 'no' we can use it to get her to stop what she's doing from quite some distance.
Just found this site , and thank goodness I have . It works for older dogs as well, My 3 year old lab is a pain when we are out and will not drop her ball before going into the river for a swim hence I lose about 3/4 balls a week, or I did. After watching this we played it and home , and after 2 days she got it, oh joy I will save so much on tennis balls now Thank you.
That’s SO nice to hear, Sue! It is so great to have a reliable retrieve for both you and for your dog. Thanks for watching ~Ken
I feel like every pup are different when it comes to listening. While some treats work with my 16 week Lab like for potty training and walking besides me. Other commands I feel like she understands more with the tone or emotion of my voice. I use “let it go” for her to drop her toy and the word “go” I do a low-long sounding gooooo and she starts loosening up her toy. And for her to come I do a happy perky voice and she hurries up to me right away!
I don’t know if you have or not but it would be really helpful to see a video all about how to deal with a pup who isn’t treat motivated at all. Milo is unbothered by treats when there are any toys present. I had to tech him sit using toys because treats just don’t hold his attention for more than a moment.

Happy Training!
@@McCannDogs Thank you so much!
Thank you ~ ☀️
Nice video! One question: How long does it take to learn this to your puppy?
Hi there, Anouks! It's entirely dependent on your puppy. Practice this a couple of times every day. Very quickly you'll start to see your puppy anticipating that food. When you see them dropping the toy immediately, make a big deal about it! They will have so much fun, and find so much reward in the process that they're likely to drop it quickly again the next time! Have fun with this exercise, and Happy Training! ~Ken
Where can l purchase that green holes ball? . I’m enjoying your training videos and have been watching them daily for a month. I pick up Dusty my 12 week old Norwich Terrier puppy in 7 days. Thanks for the videos. Sandy
Hi there, Sandy! Here’s an affiliate link to the fetch toy on Amazon: amzn.to/2yPPtmD
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Really need to master this as my dog will grab and eat anything, food, clothing, rocks, worms, etc.
So I've been trying this with my puppy - 5 months now. But when holding something close to me he just bites me or my clothing. What would you suggest. Thank you
WOW. Same with my puppy . He loves the treat so much that we use,so he just jumps and digs at my pocket that I put the treat in. 🙄 If I use something else he just doesn’t want to listen at all! 😬
Any suggestions for an older puppy that has a perfect 'drop it' with all toys (even when very excited!) but immediately swallows any socks/gloves that he finds when off-lead on walks. I've been wondering about telling him 'take it' and then training 'drop it' with a sock at home, but would it be bad to reinforce holding socks at all? Thank you for the great video though!
I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it, but I was noticing the same thing. So we go on "walks" in the back yard and I purposefully let him find something interesting that's not something I gave him (a stick, etc). And I have my treat ready (when he's finally forgotten I have them in my pocket because the outside is more interesting). I say "leave it" he thinks abut it and drops the stick so I give him the treat. Not 100% there yet, but it's hard to fabricate the "unscripted" distractions.
Funny enough, he's spit out 2 of his baby teeth after I said "leave it" since I saw him chewing on something! They just fell out in his mouth and he was playing with them!
Hi Ken, thanks for another great video - the best I've seen on this topic, I am just teaching my 11 week old BC puppy how to do this. One question - how do you then end the tug game (and take the toy away and leave) in a positive/constructive way? Have them sit/down/settle and jackpot treats? Or leave them with a Kong or something they can settle down with?
Hi there, Helen! I like this question. Part of the fun of playing fetch and playing tug is that it’s an engaging game that involves both of you. For some dogs a little toy drive needs to be built and for others there needs to be a focus on the shared experience. The ending of the game also has good training information built in. When the game is over, you can take the toy away and save it for next time you get to play. But the decision to end the game is entirely yours. Your puppy sees that valuable toy (thing) as something that’s lots of fun because it involves you. When you end the game, then your puppy can be given something to chew on, or they can go in their crate and rest up for the next play session. But you shouldn’t worry about them not having some pass time because you can’t play any longer. This is where you’re beginning to build an “off-switch” into your pup. You begin and end the game, and they learn that you’re really lots of fun, but it’s on your terms. This is a good lesson for your puppy to learn and it’s in a very non-confrontational way! I do have an older video where I do talk about playing tug that you may enjoy. Here’s a link: Dog Tug Game - How To Play Tug Of War With Your Dog - th-cam.com/video/q2Ln7fMUVE8/w-d-xo.html
Happy Training! ~Ken
McCann Dog Training hi Ken, many thanks for the response, much appreciated. I also enjoyed the other video, it seems that our BC loves to play tug!
The house line doesn’t work. Time and time again, chews through it. He is leash trained,thanks to the help of another great video. Unfortunately we’ve had to get a chain lease, but he doesn’t like the sound of it on the floor. Please help.
I have a 8 month old golden , release was 1 of the 1st things he was taught , this isn’t my 1st pup but he was not as fast as my others , he retrieves & release with out issues. I use my dogs to hunt. I never see a well rounded breed like Golden’s hunt. But Remember it is patients! don’t discipline right away. Take the time when they’re young like shown here. Starts right away ! 8-10 weeks. Good luck 🦮
Our 1 year old Aussie does this super well (we use the “out” command).
What we’re struggling with is when we’re trying to get him to release something we DON’T have control over.
So, if we’re having a toss with a frisbee or a larger tug he brings it back, we have a tug, and then he releases it when we have control over it and say “out.
If it’s something smaller like a tennis ball, he knows it’s easier for him to have a bit of keep away because it’s much harder for us to get our hands directly on the smaller ball when it’s in his mouth, and tennis balls are his favorite; even if he does drop it when we ask, he’s clever and will try to control it with his paws since we’ve asked him to drop it from his mouth.
Any tips about what our next steps should be? I’ve taken a look at the video describing training a pup to drop the ball in your hand, but I think there’s something we’d need to train in between. The out command isn’t at all reliable getting him to drop things out of his mouth if we don’t have our hands on them.
Maybe more work on leave it with toys he really loves? But there seems to be another few steps that will help us get to dropping the ball (or other object) in our hands.
Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks for all you do! You’ve helped so much in training our pup and we love being part of this community!
Cheers,
Kristen, Quinn, & Jasper (the Aussie) from Portland, OR
i wouldn't worry about making him drop his tennis ball - something that's a game for him
work on building drop it for other things that aren't nearly as important and fun to him, and simulate it with perhaps some high value things items you actually might need him to drop. but there's no reason to make fetch a purely obedience game, because it's for fun. this is all assuming your dog is a house pet
Looking forward to using these techniques with my girl. She’s very good at her “leave it” but hasn’t really mastered “drop it” yet.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, TheOfficialCasi! Have fun, and Happy Training! ~Ken
Can I train during the day different skills or words ? Or we stick to one at the time
Hey Ken, what breed is your dog? I thought it might be a BC/Kelpie cross.
If you train your dog with treats. Once you see that they have learn the command you have to immediately start leaning them off the treats while reinforcing the command during daily life. Do this with every command. Also train your dog on your walks. Make him sit, Platz. And anything else you want. That is how you get your so well trained
My puppy is a stubborn asshole and gets aggressive when I try to take something she shouldn’t have away from her.
Yes!!!! 🙄😞 We have gone to a trainer and I still struggle with his listening behaviors. 😞
I’m at my ends. I have tried everything with him 😢
We are having this same problem with our puppy. She has object aggression. I'm looking for a professional trainer now.
same happens to me with just a 10 weeks old puppy
@@angiemarie6058 things any better?
@@janelstroth1413 how are things now?
Love it! My puppy (7 month old Aussie) has a great “out” command when our hand is on the toy (or whatever’s in his mouth). He’s pretty good about not playing keep away when we’re playing fetch inside, but LOVES to play keep away if we’re playing fetch outside with a tennis ball. I’ve seen Kayl’s video about how to get your dog to love to bring the toy back to you, but I’m wondering if you guys have any other tips regarding curbing some of the “keep away” behavior, considering it seems fairly situational. Thanks!
Great question, Kristen! Make sure you have control of either your dog or the toy if you have any question about them being successful. Even if they’re reliable “most of the time” they can always drag a leash or the toy can be attached to the line so you can eliminate the game of keep away! Thanks for watching ~Ken
Hi, I have a 22 week old old Aussie and he is constantly picking up pinecones, tree bark, leaves, dirt, you name it. He has learned "drop it" but he suddenly gets selective hearing and will not drop it. Any suggestions? Thanks
❤
What are the best budget friendly dog training treat brands are the best for a 1 1/2 yr old puppy who is also extremely high energy?
I get quality jerky and cut it with scissors into small pieces. Dogs love cheese too.
3:20 is all you need to know
Any advice for a hound with a typical hound nose? If I have treats on me he doesn’t need to see it. He knows I have it because he smells it lol
3:57 they are bits of steak
if a puppy has stolen something and runs away with it, me calling "drop it" doesn't work - understandably, because me chasing after him is much more fun! How can I get him to release it from across the room? Especially if he has managed to get something that could be dangerous, like a hair clip?
Prevent him from getting it in the first place. Manage his environment more. Don't ever play chase with him if he had something in his mouth. Do frequent dedicated training sessions for "drop it" and eventually you'll be able to ask him to do it at a distance, one he's got a positive reinforcement history with that command. Don't try asking him to do it before he's ready and then get frustrated and just repeatedly shout the command, that'll devalue the command. Our puppy only learned a reliable "drop" from a distance at like 8 months old
Will this help with growling when you try to take it away, it’s not guarding she just steals things and gets mad.
My five months old Border Collie does not drop the object even when I bring the food out ( his favorite - cheese). I do the collar grab then but he
just tries to bite me then - even though we have practiced collar grab for a long time.
I’m wondering what other items to use to start generalizing the behavior. One of the issues I’m having with my 4 month old golden is an interest in shoes. So far he hasn’t been destructive (because he’s watched and caught) and the easiest solution it to avoid the issue completely by picking them up every time. But accidents happen and I don’t really want to use a shoe to proof the behavior on purpose in case he starts to see them as toys.
Hi there, DScritchy! You should spend some time teaching your dog to "leave it" with items like shoes. You're making a great choice to not leave anything for your dog to chew when you can't supervise, but it's a good idea to show your pup that shoes are off limits when it comes to chewing. We have a video that will show you how to teach your dog to "leave it". Remember, supervision is key and when you have time to supervise, you have time to train! Here's a link to the video: th-cam.com/video/0pgtnmpwU5c/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
When training a behavior with your puppy, how long should your training session last, and how many times a day should it be repeated? I have a 4 month old border collie who seems to have way more energy than attention span. Any advise would be much appreciated.
Hi there, Sue! That will depend on your schedule and your puppy’s motivation level. At least 3 or 4, 10 minute sessions in your day would be great. If your puppy has some energy left, then you can add more sessions. Take advantage of the natural training opportunities during the day as well. Before feeding you can work on your “wait” or use a little of your pup’s meals to encourage great luring and shaping exercises. Throw in a fun game of tug or a controlled fetch in your hallway for even more fun exercises! Happy Training ~Ken
@@McCannDogs thank you. I just discovered your website this evening when I was searching for videos on how to train my puppy. I have been watching one video after another trying to glean as much information to successfully trained him as I can. I've already tried a couple of the things that I've learned this evening with him and he actually did very well even with the distraction of three other dogs in the room. I also learned from your videos some of the things I've been doing wrong the last couple of weeks so I am going to be working on correcting those mistakes as well. Thank you for making your training videos available.
Your dog is really obedient
What if my puppy is picking up geese poop? He drops toys and everything just fine but geese poop or tissue or my sock etc is a hassle!
teach a leave it
Hi, my family has a new springador puppy and he is more interested in chewing the carpet, the curtains, etc that the toys we buy him. Any advice on how to stop him chewing these objects? Thank you!
Hi there, Susie! Management and supervision are going to be really important for teaching your new puppy what he’s allowed to chew on. More importantly, 100% supervision is how you’re going to be able to teach him what he isn’t allowed to chew on. Here’s a link to a video that will show you the best tools you can use to be a great leader for your puppy: The Best Puppy Training Leadership Tools - th-cam.com/video/nR_Q6_6xtfo/w-d-xo.html

Well I’m hoping this is a question someone can answer for me. I have a perfect ‘out’ with my dog that’s my drop it command but only when I’m holding the toy if I say throw a ball and he brings it back to me and I say ‘out’ he will walk away with his toy and eventually drop it but not like he would if I was holding the toy, any ideas or suggestions
Is there a way to get a dog to respond to one parent well if the other is still old school yelling "DROP IT!!! DROP IT DROP IT!" I work for hours training my Aussie positively exactly with this method. He responds during training, and often when I have him out at an empty park. But, if my husband is anywhere around, forget it! If I DO get him to come, he can smell if there is food on me or not and will not let go if no food. Or will let go and just attacks my pocket or my hand. My husband thinks I overtreat. He will even start yelling and grabbing if the dog doesn't respond to me immediately (as if he is supporting my command?)
Is it at all possible to teach him to recognize my voice and obey immediately like we practice? I don't think my husband will ever get on board. But, if I can get him to drop right away from my command, my husband won't step in.
Help!
Clear case the husband wants to be top dog, he needs the training
My best way to get my almost 2yr dog to drop😂😂 chuff of grass. Not too often because they start to think why should I get it from you when grass is everywhere. It works great
I have done the “drop it”/then it helps but it has to be reinforced 1,000 x. And if I grab onto his collar, even just to put the leash on, he bites. He is just 3 months old.
I have a question, I have a 2 and a half-year-old Pit and he won't drop his ball or toy for the life of him unless we are at the beach. He is not very food motivated at all. How do I fix this?
Hi there, Diesel.the.beast! This is a great example where you need to focus on training the skill using an interactive toy. Making sure you have some control of the “object of value” really allows you to help your Pitbull to understand that he needs to “drop it” when you ask. With one dog, I actually created a tug-toy out of a tennis ball by putting a rope through it. And that dog was only allowed to play with tennis balls when we were working on this skill, and we were using the “tennis ball tug-toy”. That way, the dog in training could quickly learn that for any game to continue, he had to respond to the “drop it” command. Thanks we could play more after he had dropped it.
Take advantage of holding your toy still and taking his collar if he doesn’t understand the drop it cue yet. By stopping any interaction, and taking the fun out of the game, he will learn that he needs to drop the toy when asked if he wants the play to continue. Happy Training! ~Ken
My puppy 12 wk aussiedoodle will drop it but bite my hands and they are all scratched up when I try to pick it up. HELP
My puppy border collie would drop a ball and stare at it, waiting for me to throw it, but then bit my hands when i reached for it.
What i did was say "leave it" when she was staring, wait a few seconds then say "yes, good girl" and then repeat the same thing as i reached for it. It took a few sessions for her to get the idea, but now she gets it and doesnt bite me when i reach for it and say leave it.
Hope this helps and wasnt too confusing. 😅
My puppy it 9 yrs old Pitt Bull and she some times attack my 15 years old Puddle,😪. what do I do??
Hi there! My best advice is to keep your dogs separated and to seek the help of a qualified professional behaviorist. I won’t be able to give you specific enough advice here in the TH-cam comments section. Do a search for a behaviorist and see if you can get some recommendations from your vet for someone who can help you through this issue. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Thanks for watching! ~Ken

I am having a few small issues with my 14 week old, she now knows sit, down, and she does react to "up" or "off" if I say it on the sofa where I train her but getting her to drop things, or me eating food is a nightmare as well as getting her to lie down and stay which is a pain as I work from home and the only thing that slightly works is to hug her with one arm whilst I am typing/on phone for work which gives me a sore arm and slows my work as well as doesn't treat the problem. I am not worried about giving them treats, its just I notice when I give treats she goes to toilet more and she isn't properly toilet trained yet so its bad enough rushing to her when she decides to go indoors without adding to that worry!
Cooked liver works great. It’s just a little messy.
Once my puppy knows that I have food, he loses interest in the toy completely lol. That's the problem I have.
Maybe he likes the treat too much and the toy too little? If he does that over any food I'm not sure what could help, but otherwise if you haven't already it could be worth trying a few different foods with whichever toy he focuses on most.
@@thatboringone7851 good idea, I didn't think of that. Thank u!
Seen a dog today that's learned that "what is that?" Means drop it. I thought "well... Whatever works" lol
What is playing the game makes them aggressive?
I am SO lucky my girl got this DOWN fast. Maybe on ocassion she'll keep tugging after a "let go" just because she is really excited. but by the 2nd or 3rd time I give the command she'll give in. Because she knows it usually means a throw and she wants a throw so she can bring it back. I love my dog!
I have a 9 week old chihuahua puppy. He is great but when he wants to play he will bite our feet as we walk around. Not only does it hurt with his tiny sharp teeth but there are times where we almost tripped over him trying to avoid stepping on him. How can we get this to stop ? He also likes biting our hands. We try to give him toys to chew when he does this but he will ignore the toy and continue biting our hands.
Simply put, a treat is given in exchange for letting go of a certain thing
I have a golden poodle puppy 4 months,
She starts growing when I get close to her to take out of her mouth.
What to do ?? Is that normal????
Thanks
Ken When I go through training steps my 6 yr old wants to be involved since he's her puppy however she distracts the puppy from learning what I'm teaching... do you have a video that talks about how to handle that?
This! I have the same problem.

Can you use this when they are biting you after they learn?
I presume your ideas to get the puppy (or any dog) to drop the toy in the first place applies to most other training situations? For example if a dog barks and is a little too aggressive around another dog walking by and you want them to stop after saying "quiet", you could gently but firmly tug on their leash (i.e. make them realize "this isn't fun anymore I'll stop".)
Then if they stop you give them a treat within a second, hiding the treat from sight so the dog doesn't think they only have to behave when he sees you have treats? Also this "hiding the treat from sight" idea I presume works in basically most other training situations?
my german shepherd hasn’t been listening to me and he’s been biting me more and more everytime i chain him up after playing with him?? and i have no clue what to do to stop it?
Why do you chain him up, he obviously doesn't like it.
My puppy bites when I stiffen the toy, any suggestions?
My dog does great with "leave it" except with sticks. He refuses to drop it no matter what treat I have. He just runs away with the stick. "No tell Kai leave it! Kai have stick Mom!"
