Hey everyone!
I'm posting a video trying to describe/demonstrate how we trained Winslow to drop stuff. I know this is a really tough one with a lot of bulldogs. Why drop it, when they can make us talk all squeaky, get nice and close, about to grab it, and run away? SO MUCH FUN!! Only to come back and rub their slobbery toys on our arms and legs.....
Anyway, I was thinking back a few moments ago and realized that at one point I did believe we'd never teach him. Gave it this last shot, and it's worked wonders for us. A few things I didn't mention though:
- this did NOT happen overnight. We started this probably about a year ago and have been working on it, and continue to EVERY time we play. Even if I don't really care if he drops it, I still make him anyway.
- I am a total newb
- It doesn't HAVE to be a ball, but I would think that TWO brand new, identical, super fun omgineedthisnow toys would be a good way to start it. More willing to listen when they really want it, and easier to trade off when it's the same object. that's just kind of how I saw it.
So, here's the video.
I don't know how helpful this is haha, but maybe it's a start for someone trying to teach their bully baby!
