Teach the dog to turn the tables It is simple, especially if our dog tends to be obedient. In more independent and stubborn breeds it can take twice as long, but if we want to achieve it, what we need is to know the steps and have a large dose of patience. We will see the results little by little, since with dogs we need to repeat so that they get used to it.
The first thing to do is find a toy in which they feel a great interest. Usually they like tennis balls a lot, because they can catch them easily and they bounce a lot, so it is a challenge for them to pick them up. For you it is a great toy because it is also very cheap and easy to find. We must throw the ball to him and let him go to pick it up.
The first thing they usually do is come towards us, but not everyone drops the ball, they want to start a chase game. When it comes to us we must have something more interesting than the ball for them to release it. Show him a prize and let them put the ball down, we pick it up and give him the prize. So at the end they will be relating releasing the ball with the prize. You have to repeat it many times, and then change the award for a caress. Finally, we will see that he releases the ball when he arrives. Although for this we must repeat many times, even several days.
