I am just now seeing this - First off, I think this is too cute and kind of funny actually - smart little guy you have there.

I presume when you say "leave it" and he drops whatever he has, you follow up with lots of "good boy!" and then a treat.... if this is the case, I would start cutting out the treat and just reward with a "good boy" and occasionally give him a treat. If you are not saying "good boy" after he drops whatever, you need to start and continue to treat a few times and then wean the treats. Good luck! Sounds like you have a tough little cookie there.
