Teaching Your Dog To Drop Items
The "Drop It" Command
Mastering Cooperation & Safety
Do you enjoy playing with your dog, only to have the game stop because they won't release the toy? Or worse, does your dog "steal" shoes and household items and refuse to let go? At AskDogTrainers.com, we believe the "Drop" should be a fun, rewarding part of your relationship, not a power struggle.
With a few easy training techniques, we can assist you in teaching your dog how to drop toys and other items on command, each and every time. Our approach focuses on building trust so your dog understands that letting go of an object often leads to something even better.
Teach your dog that dropping the toy is the key to keeping the game of fetch or tug going.
Ensure you can safely retrieve dangerous items or forbidden "treasures" without a chase.
Establish a crisp, immediate response to the "Drop" cue, even in high-arousal situations.
Teaching a reliable release can seem like a big project, especially if your dog has a high possession drive. However, by taking it step-by-step with professional coaching, the task becomes far less daunting. Let our team show you how to build a more cooperative partner today.
