I LOVE this video, this is a foundation to make you be the most interesting thing your dog knows. This will help you get your dogs attention and your relationship with your dog will improve so much.
This will work in your favour for the life of your dog, teaches you an amazing recall right from the start!

Good luck, and tug with a pup today :biggrin2:

This is excellant!

My agility trainer really pushes this.
 
What a lovely video! Loved the parts with the little girl running with the puppy hahaha Looked like everyone was having fun :) Though I don't run around with Precious chasing me (she's a barker and I don't want to instill bad reactivity to bark and lunge at moving things) so we play pretty stationary where I move the toy around for her (like the girl who was with the cocker spaniel and moved the toys in and around her legs) :D Great idea otherwise!

Well, my idea was that I couldn't stop Toffee from lunging at some points, so I USED and redirected that chasing drive for something positive instead. This way chasing ME and/or MY toys make ME much more interesting than running after the 18 wheeler, which is otherwise still his favourite thing to chase :rolleyes2: Running the other way was the only way that I got his chasing cars and other stuff under control, cars and bikes don't interest him anymore!

Hahahah Ahhh I see :) I'll try that out, redirecting her chasing drive, never thought of it that way! Thanks!
