Long day of training, but here is a tip...

I had lessons from 9am-6pm so I obviously couldn't post today. I am a little tired, so I am only going to give a quick tip and will return tomorrow.

You may use this thread to do some random talking if you would like, my forum is open as well...

Anyway, quick tip:

When you want to teach your puppy the "drop it", "give it" or "trade" command, always have a treat on hand. You will get one that is very smelly and will present it to him when he has something in his mouth that he may become protective over. You will put your hand right under his mouth (when he has a bone, toy or whatever in it) and say "drop it", then you will show him the treat and if its smelly enough, he will choose to drop it and will take the treat. The treat is the reward. Do this enough times, he will learn to drop the item on command.
