Ha ha, since the two year old dropped it, I assumed it was a the McDonnell’s nuggets, but you never know! Actually, it's a good idea to teach the word "drop it". When she has something like a toy in her mouth yell "drop it" and she'll probably drop it just because you spoke loudly. Give her a high value treat immediately. Hand something to her again, and yell "drop it" gradually you don't have to yell, but continue to give treats. Eventually you do this with food, but give a lower value food and treat with the high value food. You have to continue the training through out the life of the dog as a reminder. |
