I've been trying to teach Lancer "hold" or "bite/tug" related tricks (for.. awhile)! For tug games and leading into a variety of trick-teaching, basically. Rara's already got them down really well. But the way I trained Rara is not working for the giant fluff at all LOL. Basically lick/teeth touch, click, treat... praise/click/treat when holding onto something for a split second, etc.
Lancer's extremely submissive in most situations and pretty much totally refuses to hold onto anything that I'm also holding onto. If I offer him a toy, ball, anything, he will NOT touch it with his teeth unless I put it down haha. 8_8 He will lick it or nudge it with his wet nose. It's funny, because he gets really frustrated too- I guess at the fact that I keep wanting him to grab onto something he refuses to grab? And he gets frustrated when I praise Rara for doing it right, but he won't.... :rofl1: Any loopholes/ideas?
ETA: Forgot to mention, he does know "pick it up" only for ball-shaped things that I am not holding. LOL. It's the taking/holding anything from my hand that the baby isn't doing.
