Training Tips 2

If you dog barks excessively when guests arrive... Austi-AllinOne
Ask him enthusiastically to go find his Chewber!!! This diverts his energy and attention away from barking and changes him from "protective mode" to "lets have fun mode".
Play a short game of tug with him when he brings it to you.

Conditioning against 'Keep away'

If your dog is teasing you with his toy and then won't let you have it when you reach for it, he is enticing you to play "keep away".

This is a game that many dogs like to play with each other.
But what if you don't want to play 'keep away'?

Feeding your dog from his Chewber every day is a good way to train against 'keep away'. At mealtimes make him place his chewber in your hand if he wants to get his supper.
No toy - no food! You are conditioning him to give you his toy on command!

Roll the chewber on it's edge like a penny.
This makes it possible for your dog to 'catch' it while it is still moving. Many dogs love chasing things along the ground - especially Terriers and other breeds that were developed for hunting rodents and small prey. This is a also a great way to introduce the Chewber to puppies.

What if your dog plays tug - by the rules of course, but won't fetch?

1. Engage your dog in a fun tug session.
2. Command him to let go, then drop the Chewber on the ground and say your "Find it" command enthusiastically.
3. He'll eventually pick it up and offer it to you for another fun tug game.
4. IMMEDIATELY reward him with some enthusiastic tug play!
Play tug for a minute - you are rewarding him for fetching with TUG!
Command him to release, toss the chewber 2 or 3 feet or roll it like a penny, say your TUG command word and wait for him to bring it back for more tug.
Be patient. Reward him with tug when he does.

Repeat the process, each time tossing the chewber farther and farther. This is a great way to exercise your dog and give your arms a rest in between tug sessions.
