When I first started training Sully as a puppy, I included "drop it" as part of my commands. When he dropped it, I would give him a treat.
Now, he will drop it immediately when I say so...but, he gives me about a second to get whatever he dropped and will pick it back up again, haha. I think he realizes that I don't have a treat and he wants to play a game (I'm sure you know how this goes.)
I don't have any better suggestions than that, but it's possible and Sully picked it up in just a couple training "sessions"! Good luck! |
