Of all games and play, fetch is by far Delia's favorite and it's the one thing I can count on that she is always in the mood for. The only time she tires of it is when she wears herself out.
I would think this may present itself as a good general training opportunity.
I figure the situation might lend it self to working on "drop it" pretty easily as she doesn't give up the stick right away unless I have another stick ready to throw.
I also thought it may be a way to strengthen some of the other basic commands using it as a reward.
I don't currently have a "come". What about working on a recall this way? If I throw the stick, literally 99% of the time she brings it right back to me.
Any other ideas you guys have of how I can use this to our advantage? Thanks.
