    Amazing to see how quickly he shifted ! Always helpful to know what’s behind the behavior- thanks!

    Well holy shit. I wish I would have found this video sooner. I had no idea how effective this method was until I literally just tried it with my 7 month old GSD. She immediately let go when I have been trying unsuccessfully up until now to get her to release. Thank you so much!
  • As a male, I recommend holding the tug toy off to the side over your thigh instead of right in the middle near the jewels lol. This come from experience, had a dog readjust their teeth and catch me right in junk at the same time NOT fun!!!! I always go over the thigh now. LMAO Live and  learn!! Great technique though, been doing this for years! =)

    How does this relate to hunt retreivers ie labs. Traditional training discouages tug games. Throw a bumper...dog retrrives...releases to hand. Get another toss/ retreive as the reward. Often on retreives of live birds they need to retreive soft mouthed and gentley release the flapping live bird to hand. They are discourged to hold to kill or brar down. Method K9 please explain benifit of teaching the tug release for an agressive lab. Love all your other strategies.
  • Hi, i just came across your channel. Really good content across all i have seen so far. Many trainers focus on showing how they can handle the dog and instantly change their behaviour without much focus on the other end of the leash, whereas i feel like you are actually teaching people all the "whys". This is so important!

    I believe that you just saved my 8 month puppy from possibly initiating a dog fight. He’s been biting other dogs’ leashes and sometime collars. I see how this method will absolutely change his perspective and cognition on drop and me as his handler.

    Subscribed! I pray this works on my dog I will try tug of war later, I had to find a solution because my dog doesn’t let go
  • @karin2825
    Awesome video, thank you! Where can I get the tug toy you have?
  • @deanbalouris330
    You should explain the benefits of playing tug with your dog.
  • @learning2no
    How do you end the season without the dog expecting to think he will get the toy back?
  • @Palmonte631
    But what if you do this and he still wont let go. I’ve literally sat and held my rope toy completely still for like 2 min straight and my 130lb Shiloh shepherd just stands there or will pull it and me along with it.
