German Shepherd dog

currently i'm using two balls one time and then tug for motivational /drive building training.

should i just stick with only one toy like tug or only two balls.

what would be the best in general.

i used to play with her rope tug and last time when i first took her to club and they tested and she didn't respond much with the jute tug which is of course different than those rope tug. so now i already got tug for her and playing with it mostly and she is showing signs of  tugging a lot than before. she even follows me for the tug.

i even tied to one end of the tug and let her chase for it. i'm also thinking to do protection with her later.

in these circumstances, should i stick with tug than balls. 

NO respones

Barzinni is a pimp.  He never could have out-fought Sonny.

When I am just playing fetch with my dog to burn up some energy I use two balls, as the dog is returning to me with one I pull the other from behind my back & start spinning it over my head.  This gets him even more excited and it also gets him to out the first ball naturally with no pressure from me.

For focus work with a young dog I like the jute roll as well as the tug.  Both are great for bringing up drives in an instant and playing tug is a great reward.  I also put the tug on a leash pretty much as you describe.  Soon you will find that when your dog gets a peek at the reward his drive will zoom up!

DON. How could you miss quote yourself????         " It's out-fought Santino." LOL.
