Yellow Lab 18months old. Tried the ear pinch and toe hitch not very successful on those methods. The reason I'm doing this is because sometimes he won't retrieve the dummy, or he'll pick it up and drop when coming back.
thats how to do it zeb if the dog isnt getting it a few times getting his toe nails getting pulled on they learn pretty quick and dont forget.they know you mean business then! And who the boss is!I like iut because it is consistantTell us a little about your dog (breed, age, etc.), why you feel you need to FF him and what methods you have used.
In most all the FF or Trained Retrieve programs I've read getting the dog to reach out and grab the bumper is where the Force (ear pinch or toe hitch) comes into play. This is the tough part of any FF program. How did you handle this portion?
