Having a reliable “drop it” is an important part of playing “fetch” with your dog. If you’re looking for some tips to teach your puppy to have a speedy retrieve, check out this video from our channel: Teach Your Puppy To Fetch And LOVE To Bring The Toy Back - ua-cam.com/video/gH1rZwolIZ4/v-deo.html
It’s nice to be back from Christmas break, I’m excited about 2019 on the McCann Dog Training channel! Happy Training! ~Ken
McCann Dog Training thank you!
Does not work with my labrador puppy. He's always onto me whenever I have treats no matter how odorless they may be. He's too distracted by the smell to give it a go at his favorite toy. He just keeps sniffing me all over.
You guys are amazing, in December I'm getting a Havanese puppy and you guys are helping me learn so much!
Thank you so much Ken 😌 I'm a faithful new friend and I really like this channel alot already! U have awesome lessons 🙂 pleased to meet you and your channel ☺️ pleasure to be here! See you soon 🔜 be safe
My dog drops things whenever I say "drop it". I didn't know why he did it, until my wife said she trained him.
😂😂😂
Perfect wife right there. :) :)
You should have noticed that she trained you the same way. ;-)
@@meMiner 😂 precisely!!
🤣
I am so happy that i found your Channel!!!! I was so lost before with my puppy. I just want to cry of joy and gratitude for your method. ❤️🐕
This channel is by far the best of its kind on UA-cam. What a brilliant resource for training. We have a rehomed 19 week old Border ColliexGreyhound/Saluki 😊
This was so helpful thankyou so much! My ten week old puppy loves to fetch but hates to let go 😃
This is exactly what I needed to see! I've (we have) learned so much from your videos! Thank you!!
Theoretically, I get it and like it. In reality, my pup just hangs on to the toy...even when it is completely still. He just hangs on and looks at me. So what do you do to get him to drop it initially?
In the past, I would use food to tempt him to drop it...and then after a couple of successful drops, I would then use your method of verbal cue, correct action then reward.
But at the next session, we were back to square 1 :|
I also tried the suggestion from your other video (swapping toys) - but puppy got SUPER DUPER excited and hyped and lost all focus.
Ken your vids are awesome Iv watched nearly all them in preparation of picking our pup up next month. Thank you
I love this method! Although I have a REALLY smart dog and she remembers that I have treats in my hand so she doesn’t play enthusiastically. Every time I move my hand to my pocket she immediately drops the toy, so the command is void. Do you have any tips?
This makes perfect sense. Thank you!
This is so helpful! I can’t wait to try this on my pup 💕
Glad you found it helpful, Michelle! Happy Training! ~Ken
Thank you
The house line doesn’t work. Time and time again, chews through it. He is leash trained,thanks to the help of another great video. Unfortunately we’ve had to get a chain lease, but he doesn’t like the sound of it on the floor. Please help.
3:20 is all you need to know
I love you guys!!
Hi, I have a 22 week old old Aussie and he is constantly picking up pinecones, tree bark, leaves, dirt, you name it. He has learned "drop it" but he suddenly gets selective hearing and will not drop it. Any suggestions? Thanks
Is there a way to get a dog to respond to one parent well if the other is still old school yelling "DROP IT!!! DROP IT DROP IT!" I work for hours training my Aussie positively exactly with this method. He responds during training, and often when I have him out at an empty park. But, if my husband is anywhere around, forget it! If I DO get him to come, he can smell if there is food on me or not and will not let go if no food. Or will let go and just attacks my pocket or my hand. My husband thinks I overtreat. He will even start yelling and grabbing if the dog doesn't respond to me immediately (as if he is supporting my command?)
Is it at all possible to teach him to recognize my voice and obey immediately like we practice? I don't think my husband will ever get on board. But, if I can get him to drop right away from my command, my husband won't step in.
Help!
Clear case the husband wants to be top dog, he needs the training
Simply put, a treat is given in exchange for letting go of a certain thing
My five months old Border Collie does not drop the object even when I bring the food out ( his favorite - cheese). I do the collar grab then but he
just tries to bite me then - even though we have practiced collar grab for a long time.
What is playing the game makes them aggressive?
Hey Ken, what breed is your dog? I thought it might be a BC/Kelpie cross.
I’m wondering what other items to use to start generalizing the behavior. One of the issues I’m having with my 4 month old golden is an interest in shoes. So far he hasn’t been destructive (because he’s watched and caught) and the easiest solution it to avoid the issue completely by picking them up every time. But accidents happen and I don’t really want to use a shoe to proof the behavior on purpose in case he starts to see them as toys.
Hi there, DScritchy! You should spend some time teaching your dog to "leave it" with items like shoes. You're making a great choice to not leave anything for your dog to chew when you can't supervise, but it's a good idea to show your pup that shoes are off limits when it comes to chewing. We have a video that will show you how to teach your dog to "leave it". Remember, supervision is key and when you have time to supervise, you have time to train! Here's a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/0pgtnmpwU5c/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
My best way to get my almost 2yr dog to drop😂😂 chuff of grass. Not too often because they start to think why should I get it from you when grass is everywhere. It works great
Love it! My puppy (7 month old Aussie) has a great “out” command when our hand is on the toy (or whatever’s in his mouth). He’s pretty good about not playing keep away when we’re playing fetch inside, but LOVES to play keep away if we’re playing fetch outside with a tennis ball. I’ve seen Kayl’s video about how to get your dog to love to bring the toy back to you, but I’m wondering if you guys have any other tips regarding curbing some of the “keep away” behavior, considering it seems fairly situational. Thanks!
Great question, Kristen! Make sure you have control of either your dog or the toy if you have any question about them being successful. Even if they’re reliable “most of the time” they can always drag a leash or the toy can be attached to the line so you can eliminate the game of keep away! Thanks for watching ~Ken
go to 3:00 to start the instructions
I'm 50 and have had 3 dobermans and 2 german shepherds in my life. Easy to train if you're just calm and quiet. But now I have a 2 kg mix between barracuda /chainsaw and Jeffrey Dahmer. I tried the pedagogical way but after a month I had to go 1950s style with her. I pinched her nose right away and it took 1 day to stop biting me. Not 2 sec later. Only 4 months old but her biting caused infections and ripped clothes. I hate all kinds of physical punishment. Really do. But to be frustrated and angry with a family member that they are is only torture in the long run. Now we snuggle all the time and she never distrust me. She's with me all the time and I love her so ❤️ I had to think about what would happen in the long run if I didn't put a stop to it.
Cooked liver works great. It’s just a little messy.
How long should the house line be?
Hi there, Ana! Your puppy's house-line should be about 5-6ft with the handle cut off. Happy Training! ~Ken
When my whippet was still a little puppy I just give disapproving expression.
He dropped it right away.
Any tips on "leave it"?
Hi there, Terri! Here’s a video lesson for teaching “Leave It”: Teach Your Dog To LEAVE Those Distractions By Setting It Up ua-cam.com/video/0pgtnmpwU5c/v-deo.html
Happy Training! ~Ken
My house line ended up dragged in 💩
🤣 that’s us too.
My dog is food oriented so once she gets food she loses interest in the toy and won’t take it
I need to try this with my shoes..especially when my foot is in it lol...
Same! If I wear boots with fur my dog goes crazy. 😳😬
I have the same problem 😃 hopefully we can put a end to this with the help of this amazing teacher 😃 great channel 👍 I love your advice ❤️🙏 awesome Job ☺️
@@thesun-N-moon8885 yes I have the same thing happening lately!! My favorite boots are getting destroyed 😂 no more of that stuff! I really think this is going to work for us all!! Lmk how it goes for you 😉 good luck with your training!!
Haaa oh lord I can't wait for this to happen
yah gotta teach a good "Leave it". Its key.
I literally started drop it training with my chocolate lab using treats as a trade and she got it right away, she now will play fetch and will grab the ball, bring it over, drop it and wait for the treat 😋 she now does it on her own without me saying drop it and if she has like a sock or some kind of cloth in her mouth and it's still in her teeth she shakes it out so it's on the ground then she gets a treat 🤗 so glad I got a lab, she's so clever
My puppy is a stubborn asshole and gets aggressive when I try to take something she shouldn’t have away from her.
Yes!!!! 🙄😞 We have gone to a trainer and I still struggle with his listening behaviors. 😞
I’m at my ends. I have tried everything with him 😢
We are having this same problem with our puppy. She has object aggression. I'm looking for a professional trainer now.
same happens to me with just a 10 weeks old puppy
@@angiemarie6058 things any better?
@@janelstroth1413 how are things now?
Doesn't work with my dog. He's a lab with a nose that can smell a treat a mile away. He knows when I have treats and when I don't. He doesn't listen when I don't have any treats.
James Smith you need to associate treats with verbal praise and massage or petting and condition this for a while until the attention is enough
I would also try mixing up between praise + treat and praise alone, so for example, after praising and giving him a treat, follow up with a couple times where you just praise him, even if you have a treat on you.
My 12 week old pup is an absolute nightmare with food too! If he smells it that's it his brain goes into overdrive and he starts jumping all over me or nipping me I'll stand and turn my back until he's calm but it never lasts long 😢
My dog too. She’ll just stare eventually nudging and sniffing the the “hidden” treats..
@@utopiascents we had this exact problem and used crate training along with conditioning the word "No."
We started like you trying to disengage but it didn't seem to stop the enthusiasm. Putting them in the crate til they calm down (and stopped whining) then trying again seemed to work with a verbal warning letting them know what they were doing was unacceptable.
The added benefit is since training 'no' we can use it to get her to stop what she's doing from quite some distance.
Hope this works. When my dog grabs something and I tell her to drop it, she makes me chase her around the room. Last thing she took was a skein of yarn. By the time she dropped it, it was all over the room.
Ahhh yes - The Hide Behind the Couch Routine! I know it well, these days!! And, the round the trees, behind the rose bushes, under the lawn furniture... This video will be SO helpful - THANK YOU, KEN!
So I've been trying this with my puppy - 5 months now. But when holding something close to me he just bites me or my clothing. What would you suggest. Thank you
WOW. Same with my puppy . He loves the treat so much that we use,so he just jumps and digs at my pocket that I put the treat in. 🙄 If I use something else he just doesn’t want to listen at all! 😬
I don’t know if you have or not but it would be really helpful to see a video all about how to deal with a pup who isn’t treat motivated at all. Milo is unbothered by treats when there are any toys present. I had to tech him sit using toys because treats just don’t hold his attention for more than a moment.

Happy Training!
@@McCannDogs Thank you so much!
I wish I had this 20 years ago when I first got a puppy. We're about to be an 8 week old pugs family in a few days and are really getting a lot out of your videos. Thank you so much (from Australia).
What’s important is that you’ve got it now, Stacey! I’m glad you’re enjoying our channel. Happy Training with your new four-legged family member! ~Ken
Appreciate the time it took to make this video but the length of discussion versus the actual visual demonstration was a bit frustrating. It and made the process much more difficult to learn.
Using the "dead toy" "out" can be hard with some tough dogs. I've had to brace the tug against my thigh and myself against a wall with strong dogs, otherwise I'm just an extra weight to swing around on the other end of the tug ! It's more like a wrestling match with some dogs and a serious work out !
The dropped the T on its head when the puppies head became a grab pincer then the tip toe peaple dont come here paradise is abit dodgy there 😭
Really need to master this as my dog will grab and eat anything, food, clothing, rocks, worms, etc.
Hello. We received "Buddy",our puppy, at 8 weeks. He's a "ROTTSHEP". His Dad is a full breed Rottweiler and his mom is a full breed German Shepherd. We want the best for him. Love,Care and Safety. Training tips that we have seen by your videos has been useful for him and for us. We need to work some more with him but he is responding great. Thank you very much.
if a puppy has stolen something and runs away with it, me calling "drop it" doesn't work - understandably, because me chasing after him is much more fun! How can I get him to release it from across the room? Especially if he has managed to get something that could be dangerous, like a hair clip?
Prevent him from getting it in the first place. Manage his environment more. Don't ever play chase with him if he had something in his mouth. Do frequent dedicated training sessions for "drop it" and eventually you'll be able to ask him to do it at a distance, one he's got a positive reinforcement history with that command. Don't try asking him to do it before he's ready and then get frustrated and just repeatedly shout the command, that'll devalue the command. Our puppy only learned a reliable "drop" from a distance at like 8 months old
Wow! Your advice really helps me understand my puppy! Thank you!!!!
Once my puppy knows that I have food, he loses interest in the toy completely lol. That's the problem I have.
Maybe he likes the treat too much and the toy too little? If he does that over any food I'm not sure what could help, but otherwise if you haven't already it could be worth trying a few different foods with whichever toy he focuses on most.
@@thatboringone7851 good idea, I didn't think of that. Thank u!
My pup doesn’t want the toy when I have a treat!!
My puppy drops her toys as soon as I say "drop it" but sometimes she grabs toilet paper and she wont drop it. In fact, today she grabbed one piece of toilet paper and she started growling at me when I tried to get it off of her mouth. I tried offering chicken and other high value foods as a trade but she is struggling with leaving the toilet paper,what can I do? :(
3:57 they are bits of steak
My dog does great with "leave it" except with sticks. He refuses to drop it no matter what treat I have. He just runs away with the stick. "No tell Kai leave it! Kai have stick Mom!"
What if my puppy is picking up geese poop? He drops toys and everything just fine but geese poop or tissue or my sock etc is a hassle!
teach a leave it
my german shepherd hasn’t been listening to me and he’s been biting me more and more everytime i chain him up after playing with him?? and i have no clue what to do to stop it?
Why do you chain him up, he obviously doesn't like it.
Picking up my blue heeler November 22
Will be trying this today as my 14 week old puppy just thinks it's good fun to run off with the ball or wants us to play tug of war with every toy/item. Tried kibble and a few treats but didn't work so will be trying a higher value food that she loves.
My rescue has a toy obsession makes him highly aroused and refuses to listen its like a switch in his brain... Previous owners let him carry a ball 24/7 I've taken it away Any tips
I swear my dog speaks english. I taught him drop it in two tries without trading toys or bribing with treats. He is ridiculously smart, but with that comes sooo much stubbornness. But it just goes to show that anyone who says pitbull type dogs are “untrainable” are full of malarky and/or bologna!!🤣
I have a year and a half old dog and we are working on the "drop it" command. He has a habit of tugging on his leash whenever he is bored while on a walk. Is the "drop it" command appropriate for this behavior? He knows the word leave it, but he is exhibiting playing behavior at times.
Any suggestions for an older puppy that has a perfect 'drop it' with all toys (even when very excited!) but immediately swallows any socks/gloves that he finds when off-lead on walks. I've been wondering about telling him 'take it' and then training 'drop it' with a sock at home, but would it be bad to reinforce holding socks at all? Thank you for the great video though!
I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it, but I was noticing the same thing. So we go on "walks" in the back yard and I purposefully let him find something interesting that's not something I gave him (a stick, etc). And I have my treat ready (when he's finally forgotten I have them in my pocket because the outside is more interesting). I say "leave it" he thinks abut it and drops the stick so I give him the treat. Not 100% there yet, but it's hard to fabricate the "unscripted" distractions.
Funny enough, he's spit out 2 of his baby teeth after I said "leave it" since I saw him chewing on something! They just fell out in his mouth and he was playing with them!
I have a golden poodle puppy 4 months,
She starts growing when I get close to her to take out of her mouth.
What to do ?? Is that normal????
Thanks
My dog smells the food, even in my pocket and won't look twice at a toy. So how do I exchange food for a toy in my case
all gravey Try using a treat that doesn't smell so good. My puppy went crazy when I used her yummy smelling kibble, so I switched to cheese and little tiny cubes and it worked like a charm she still knew I had the cheese but wasn't as crazy about it and she learned very quickly, as I said in my comment in one session she got it
@@Lisa_GalCali shes as good as trained, she is a chiweenie and just seems to smell everything
all gravey but she has to play with toys on her own right? If she does. As she is playing you jump on a start a training session while she is engaged with the toy. You have to just keep doing it and one day it clicks.
What if you're dog is ONLY motivated by food and doesn't play with toys
I think the biggest mistake is going to fast with your puppy. Taking things away is a lot harder than waiting till the right age to give things or allow behaviors. If you think your dog is so smart and can skip steps or jump ahead, you will regret it when you are trying to take that freedom or whatever away, they will use those smarts to get themselves in trouble.
just so you know... cheese isn't good for your dog. although there is protein there is things in the cheese that make the dog have diarrhea and headaches. Also vomiting can be caused.
I see in most of the videos you “grab” the collar, is it just the collar or are you guys grabbing the skin as well?
My pomsky places fetch and catch with me instead chases and then runs back and throws it in my hand
Any advice for a hound with a typical hound nose? If I have treats on me he doesn’t need to see it. He knows I have it because he smells it lol
Will this help with growling when you try to take it away, it’s not guarding she just steals things and gets mad.
My puppy 12 wk aussiedoodle will drop it but bite my hands and they are all scratched up when I try to pick it up. HELP
My puppy border collie would drop a ball and stare at it, waiting for me to throw it, but then bit my hands when i reached for it.
What i did was say "leave it" when she was staring, wait a few seconds then say "yes, good girl" and then repeat the same thing as i reached for it. It took a few sessions for her to get the idea, but now she gets it and doesnt bite me when i reach for it and say leave it.
Hope this helps and wasnt too confusing. 😅
Thanks, I’ll try to integrate this into my dog’s next dinner!
I feel like every pup are different when it comes to listening. While some treats work with my 16 week Lab like for potty training and walking besides me. Other commands I feel like she understands more with the tone or emotion of my voice. I use “let it go” for her to drop her toy and the word “go” I do a low-long sounding gooooo and she starts loosening up her toy. And for her to come I do a happy perky voice and she hurries up to me right away!
I'm a vegetarian but my dog gets steak. I failed at life ;-)
Can you use this when they are biting you after they learn?
Our problem is that Lucy is very hyper all the time and constantly biting anything in her reach, except her toys. We’ve got a variety of toys, bones/antlers, etc and she shows no interest in tug of war at least not for more than a few seconds and then she is on to something else. The biggest issue is her biting our pants, shoes, feet/ankles all the time.. how does this factor into training?
Have her restricted from you for example in a play pen. Stop play when you can’t redirect the biting. She will quickly get the message. Biting means play is stopped
I see a Doberman in that group. Thank you!
My puppy bites when I stiffen the toy, any suggestions?
If you train your dog with treats. Once you see that they have learn the command you have to immediately start leaning them off the treats while reinforcing the command during daily life. Do this with every command. Also train your dog on your walks. Make him sit, Platz. And anything else you want. That is how you get your so well trained
:/ my puppy never let's go of a tug toy. No matter how long I hold it steady. He just starts to growl.
You've not tried hard enough. Every dog will let go eventually. The other day I had to hold a tug steady and clamp the dog down to stop him ragging and waited some 15 minutes before he gave it up. It was a high drive Patterdale terrier. It only took 10 minutes on the second rep and by the 10th rep he was dropping on cue.
My dog growls too but some do, sometimes food doesn't work! My dog is food and toy motivated and wouldn't give up the toy for food, but she gave the toy up completely when she figured out she'd get another throw. Use two balls (identical so she doesnt resource one over the other), give whatever command you use "leave" "drop" or the one I use (which is drop and leave combined) is "out", and as soon as he drops it then you chuck the other toy as his reward and continue to do so until he learns! Have treats on you so when you take the toys away give him a "done" or "enough" and treat him so having them taken away isnt a horrible thing and he then understands that second command too
What is the 3 second rule in dog training?
Nice video! One question: How long does it take to learn this to your puppy?
Hi there, Anouks! It's entirely dependent on your puppy. Practice this a couple of times every day. Very quickly you'll start to see your puppy anticipating that food. When you see them dropping the toy immediately, make a big deal about it! They will have so much fun, and find so much reward in the process that they're likely to drop it quickly again the next time! Have fun with this exercise, and Happy Training! ~Ken
Hello any one from Newcastle
👍🏼 thank you for this great tip.
My puppy it 9 yrs old Pitt Bull and she some times attack my 15 years old Puddle,😪. what do I do??
Hi there! My best advice is to keep your dogs separated and to seek the help of a qualified professional behaviorist. I won’t be able to give you specific enough advice here in the UA-cam comments section. Do a search for a behaviorist and see if you can get some recommendations from your vet for someone who can help you through this issue. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Just found this site , and thank goodness I have . It works for older dogs as well, My 3 year old lab is a pain when we are out and will not drop her ball before going into the river for a swim hence I lose about 3/4 balls a week, or I did. After watching this we played it and home , and after 2 days she got it, oh joy I will save so much on tennis balls now Thank you.
That’s SO nice to hear, Sue! It is so great to have a reliable retrieve for both you and for your dog. Thanks for watching ~Ken
My puppy start pulling again
liking or unliking videos lol
Using a food reward does not work with a dog as intelligent as an Airedale. He is going to persistently grab stuff so that he gets a reward for dropping it, reinforcing bad behaviour. Playing with a pull toy, the Airedale's jaws are so powerful that unless he wants to let go it is not going to release, the wing will come off the retrieve duck. This is the 'kill the rat' game and you will have to let go eventually unless you want your wrist sprained. To get the sock/slipper/phone back, command "drop" and gently and calmly, without yelling which excites the dog, take the object out of his mouth pushing on his incisors (which are sensitive to pressure) to open, "drop" is taught by repetition. He will give it to you - but no reward, so that he knows it was a bad thing to do. Airedales copy and have a fantastic sense of smell, so anything you have handled is fair game. Airedales learn very quickly, often first go, but they don't always obey

Advice for when the dog gets something that isn't their toy. Like, a chicken bone from a plate, or food they found in the dog park? My dog will drop her toys. But when she found what I think was good like beef in the dog park she refused to stop it and ran off with it. And my mom dropped a chicken bone and my dog got it and refused to drop it or open her mouth.
I am having a few small issues with my 14 week old, she now knows sit, down, and she does react to "up" or "off" if I say it on the sofa where I train her but getting her to drop things, or me eating food is a nightmare as well as getting her to lie down and stay which is a pain as I work from home and the only thing that slightly works is to hug her with one arm whilst I am typing/on phone for work which gives me a sore arm and slows my work as well as doesn't treat the problem. I am not worried about giving them treats, its just I notice when I give treats she goes to toilet more and she isn't properly toilet trained yet so its bad enough rushing to her when she decides to go indoors without adding to that worry!
Is it ok that I’m using the word “give” instead of drop it?
Great question, Allyy Journals! Yes, you can use any word you want to get that behavior. The important thing is to be consistent with the use of that word! Happy Training! ~Ken
Wonderful lesson. Very clear and comprehensive communication. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
