If you have more time, you might want to consider teaching her the "drop it" command. It's a pretty easy one. Get a a chew toy or something that she enjoys holding in her mouth. Say "Drop it" and show her the treat - she'll probably drop what she's holding anyway to get the treat. My Yorkie is not that smart, and it took me one session to get that one down. It's come in very handy walking him around the dirty (read: delicious) streets of San Fran. My Yorkie finds, say, a discarded orange peel on the street, and that command, uttered in my scariest voice, works wonders. |
