Playing tug with your dog is one of the most fun and beneficial games you can choose. There are some inherent problems, and one of them is teaching your dog how to let go of the toy in order to continue the game.

In this video I address this in 3 phases. It is simple to understand and apply and makes playing with your dog more fun and exciting. Not every dog will need every level of structure, but if they do, the information here is important.

I just stumbled across your video and was very impressed. I brought an 8 year old 100 lb GSD into my rescue and I'm starting to see that he's getting a little possessive of the ball. He's fixating on it a wee bit too much. Because he's still relatively new to me and decompressing from shelter life and being on the run, I don't trust him yet. I am working on basic obedience and he's very receptive to learn and the 'out' command is something I want to teach this dog. Watching you provide great explanations when your dog didn't out on command was brilliant. That's what people that are not professionals need to see because that is a reality for us when we start to teach a command. Too many polished video's out there that show perfect outs. Those video's are not helpful and yours was very helpful.

Nice to see what u do when she doesn't immediately react correcting to out..(second method).. That type of thing helps us all when our own dogs land up doing the same..

I really like that you showed two methods on this training - very helpful - particularly in case one of them doesn't work as well.

You really help segment every inch. Much appreciated!

His suggested 'correction' is an example of the concept of 'positive punishment', which is perfectly fine.

I always look forward to your training with Maya as she is just like my GSD in temperament. It shows me exactly what I need to do with mine. Maya is adorable ❤❤

Starting my Peke on the tug toys. He is doing well with steps 1 and 2 (your previous video) and we are now working on step 3. Step 3 is the most difficult of the 3. As you said, I'll give it time and keep working on this. Thank you so much for explaining and demonstrating this process so well.
