Clare 33 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 when shes bringing it get down really low and call her to you, dont take it straight from her, praise her and then ask her to drop/leave/dead and praise again, you can also try walking backwards and keep calling her before you drop down to take the dummy, Quote Link to post
stroller 341 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 you could also try turning your back on the dog and walk away but keep the dog at heel so its still carrying. then praise her and take it from her 1 Quote Link to post
danspence2012 5 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) agree with the above....... lots of praise and mybe let the dog walk at heel with the dummy in mouth and continue to praise.. mine use to respond better too, when i get down low when retieveing a dummy to me and kind of go all puppy minded and make a big fuss for keeping hold of the dummy.. best of luck Edited July 15, 2012 by danspence2012 Quote Link to post
