Two Toy Game - 8 Week Old GSD (Patreon)
Content
In this video I show you the two toy game. This is the game I like to play to not only start teaching the puppy to drop something in their mouth, (which is then rewarded by re-engaging with me and another toy) but also to teach them that thing that I'm playing with is the most important/best thing and that playing with me is better than playing by themselves. This is important for toy play skills, disc, and it's a fun way to introduce dropping on cue without trading for food.
Note: With young puppies we need to be incredibly careful of their necks. I am not actually tugging at all here, just providing resistance as the puppy chooses to tug. I am not jacking their neck back and forth or doing anything other than gently leading them around by the toy.
