Grip Issue its genetic. You can teach but it will come off once a good handler tests the dog.

grip issue is not always genetic. i have seen handlers "create" grip problems in the past, and to be honest it doesnt take a lot to make an issue. handlers who let their dog have a bite, play tug for a couple of seconds and then out their dog? it does not take long for the dog to realize that coming back to the handler only means they have to give up their toy. as i tell club members all the time "let the dog win". that is how you build a dogs confidence.
as with all questions asked here (and other places) it is truely imposible to evaluate the issue without seeing it in person.

100% agree. You can ruin a very good grip by wrong training I'm assuming the original poster knows his training steps and that the dog had grip issues from the beginning. But yes wrong training can destroy a superb genetic grip.
