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.

Just belatedly found this in my inbox. You make excellent points here that I missed picking up on in the YouTube post! Will share with my nephew for their new pup, and copy them your additional points. Thanks!!

Do you have an Amazon list so I can get some of the supplies you use?

DOGGY•U

I do! You can go to amazon.com/shop/doggyu for my list. I also have puppy-specific recommendations with links as the last part of the Puppy Quick Start guide that you can check out! (search puppy guide and it should pop up).
