Can you post a video of a session or two?labman626 wrote:I cannot get my boykin to transition to the ground. Any tips? She will pick it up sometimes but that is it. I continually have to force her. I have been at it for a month.

Re: Boykin
A video would certainly be ideal. If this isn't possible however, you'll need to provide more details. Is the dog collar conditioned? Are you using the ear pinch or toe hitch? Is the dog reliably picking up the object used from the bench or only from your hand? etc... It is very difficult to give good feedback without clear and specific details.

I found the Ear Pinch thread that you posted on. I didn't realize that you had posted on this before now.
Good luck,
Nate

Re: Boykin
When you posted a year ago. Were you referring to the same dog? If not there appears to be a pattern forming here that is clearly not the dogs fault. You may want to have a pro evaluate your training methods.labman626 wrote:I cannot get my boykin to transition to the ground. Any tips? She will pick it up sometimes but that is it.

Now I'm done.

Re: Boykin
Transition to the ground. You mean pick the object up off the ground?
I pity the man that has never been loved by a dog!
