Description: Product DescriptionThe Power of Playing Tug with Your Dog is the second training video in the Leerburg’s series of dog training with Michael Ellis. This video follows Michael’s the Power of Training Your Dog with Food.Michael’s opens this video with a lecture on why using toy rewards is a powerful tool in a dog training program. He explains in detail why new trainers should learn “Marker Training” using food rewards before they consider using toy rewards.Before a tug can be used as an obedience reward the dog must first learn the “Rules of Play.” Those rules are:The dog must play tug with enthusiasm,The dog must release the toy when told to out.The dog must bring the tug back after you release it.During “Rules of Play” training, the dog learns that just because he “OUTS the toy and brings it back” does not mean the game is over. In fact, during the first stages of training the handler shows the dog the instant he releases the toy the game goes on again.Once the dog understands this concept, the conflict of over “outing the toy” goes away.This training teaches the dog that fun with toys comes by playing tug with his handler and not in possessing the toy and playing keep away from the handler.
