If anyone has a good method of teaching your dog to "drop it" id really love to hear it. Ive read up on training many other commands but have not come across this one. The reason id like to teach this is for when we are out on walks and he picks up an object i dont want him to have like a stick or something (doesnt really happen but just in case) or when we are playing fetch. Fetch is on of maverick's favorite games but when he comes back with the toy sometimes he will let me grab the toy but he wont let go. I dont want to get in a struggle for a toy with him or something (hope im explaining this ok). I think if he could learn a command like "drop it" it would be much easier. So far i have been telling him "drop it" and when he does so i praise him but he isnt catching on that well. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks for the help everyone!
