Started: Day 3
Zander seemed to have an inbred drive for running after the thrown objects. After a while I noticed that he tends to drag them “home” to chew on in safety. Hi “home” became my old dog’s bed that he immediately took over (old Argo sleeps on the floor now-poor dog).
Anyhow, I made Sasha sit in his “home” and throw the toys. Worked like a charm. Zander runs after the toy and brings it back “home” to Sasha.
Here is a clip:
He still sometimes gets distracted, he can run for the toy, see a water bowl, drink some, see the toy again, grab it and bring back. Here’s a demonstration of puppy ADD – he runs for the toy all right, but brings back the wrong one
