3. The predator will stop chasing rabbits if he never catches and kills one.
Let the puppy catch the toy.
While you will want to keep the toy
moving, once the puppy gets his
mouth on the toy let him tug. Only put
as much pressure on the tug as your
puppy will accept without letting go.
Let him "win" occasionally by letting go
while he is tugging, but then quickly
get hold of the toy again.
Don't introduce a release word to your
tug game until you are consistently fighting to get the toy away from your puppy.
Don't expect your puppy to grab onto
a stationary/dead toy in your hand or
on the ground until you have built tons
of value for tugging with the toy so
keep the toy moving!
Toy Game #2: Tugging Around Food
Helping your puppy understand that he can switch from toys to food and back
again is an important part of building an effective reward system. Start with a
low value food like kibble in your pocket. Get the puppy tugging vigorously, then
take the toy away and ask for a behavior, like a sit. Reward with the food from your
pocket and then release the puppy to chase the toy with lots of movement on the
ground so you are tapping into the puppy's prey drive.
Toy Game # 3: Releasing the Toy
Once the puppy is tugging very enthusiastically and can switch between food and
toys, introduce the release cue. Say the word (e.g., "Give") and stop tugging. When
the puppy releases the toy, mark the choice ("Yes!" or click) and reward with food.
Be sure to reward your release occasionally to keep that behavior reliable.
Toy Game # 4: "Get It"
Once you have built a tugging fiend, you can start to offer the toy in front of you
at the puppy's eye level and use a cue to start the tugging game.
COURTESY KE-HU TOYS
Using a toy that has a discrete surface to grab, ask the puppy to sit. While facing
the puppy, hold the toy in both hands at his level, making sure the tug surface is
clearly visible to the puppy. Say "get it" and take a step backward or turn and let
the puppy chase you to get to the toy-the toy is moving away from the puppy.
Let the puppy get the toy and play your usual tug of war.
Toy Game #5: Pick Up the Toy and Bring It to Me
Once the puppy will consistently and enthusiastically take the toy from your
hand for a game of tug, start the game by asking the puppy to sit. Face the
puppy and place the toy on the ground between you and the puppy. Say "get it"
and have a great tugging party when your puppy picks up the toy and brings it
to you for tugging.
Gradually increase the distance between you and the puppy for this game. Encourage the puppy to drive toward you by running away after he picks up the toy, but
don't be too hard to catch and be sure to engage immediately in a tugging game!
