[VIDEO] Who Else Wants to Teach a Dog to Drop it?

Teaching a Dog to Drop it

Teaching your dog how to drop things when asked is very useful!  Dogs routinely pick things up things in their mouths, from forbidden food to your underwear.  Some dogs are even little thieves that will bury their heads into your guest’s purse when you are not looking, only to enjoy the mad dash when the chase ensues!  And they are even more likely to grab what they shouldn’t after all that fun!

But it’s pretty scary when your dog picks up something that you know can cause them harm.  But what do you do when they won’t give it to you.  Trying to force your dog to open their mouths can result in you getting bitten.  And for the most part, you know they only give it to us when they decide to.

There are better options than trying to force your dog to open his or her mouth.  This video nicely breaks down the steps to teach a dog to drop without using fear, pain or intimidation.  I was very impressed with this video when I saw it. Well worth watching.
