Good luck!
This really will work. My dog loves to play tug-of-war with one of her toys. She follows me, my foot, around with that bone on my foot trying to get me to play. Sometimes I do, that is why she will never learn not to do it. Sometimes I say "Enough!!" and she stops. If you always tell her to stop she will learn not to do it, just be firm.

I think this is interesting because we are supposed to be consistent, as in I should allow or not allow a behavior. This just goes to show I can sometimes allow it and can communicate that to her. This is her way of asking to play and I say 'yes' or 'no' and she obeys. >>>>gosh I love this dog<<<<
