Thanks. Whatever is more moivating for your dog. Some dogs are actually more motivated by the retrieve (but Jessie is not one of them) I actually had a comment in there qualifying “if tugging is more fun for your dog” but it got edited out at some point due to time.
nice
Excellent i love this. Have done what you said recalling dog off the bumper before it gets it..but have not thought of getting someone else to throw the bumper out..what a good idea.
Only prob with the idea that the tugging is more rewarding than retrieve is that my dogs are the opposite they really really love retrieving, much more than tugging on a toy!!!
