Thanks, I do have a long line ill give this ago with some cheese tomorrow. what would you do if he drops the toy once he realises im call him back though

Thanks, could you elaborate on this a bit please, he does love a bit of tug of war but as soon as i let him win he'll go to his chair with the toy and chew/ attempt to destroy the toy. How could i transfer tug game to retrieving skill?

Thankyou for the replies everyone, a lot of helpful tips
