As you probably know by now, we are big on the retrieve game. It's fun. It tuckers them out and it usually teaches them the spirit of competition.
It took a bit before Treasure 'understood' the spirit - meaning it doesn't always have to be about HER.
Well, Daisy reminds me a bit of Treasure where she rather would get YOU to do the chase game - you chase her - which I refuse or she covets the toy. So, we are practicing walking away and ending the game. This method may take a few days but it DOES work. I have never had a dog that it hasn't.
But you have to laugh watching the mind clicking away waiting to see what you will do. Will she give in this time?
PS: I didn't but we are about to go back out and try it again.
