Casso 1,261 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 droppers are a throw back from the old greyhound men, whose expensive dogs would never have been allowed course in fear of injury, why any lurcher owner feels the need for it , i'll never know, no lurcher needs to get a kill, all it needs is to course and retrieve , thats all ,and when the time is right they all will, people who use droppers are clueless amatures in my book,,, the confidence people talk about ,is the dog finally realising he can get to use his drive on something ,which in my book is wrong because the handler should be the focus for his drive first,, Interesting reply. How should a handler be the focus for a dogs drive ? Cheers. the way i see it a pup dont know what he was born to do, but their all born with prey drive and its got to come out and in a lot of cases thats what get the dog into trouble i focus the pup on me as a way of using his drive from early, play tug , get him crazy bout a ball, all that stuff,,after a while pup will start bring stuff to you to play with but, this is the thing ,i always let the pup win in tug and never take a ball off him when he retrieves,all that bullshit bout not letting a dog win when playing tug is bullshit, it really increases the bond and makes the pup feel great to be round you ,that way he always wins and sees me as his best bud and an outlet for drive eventually progress on to a stage where anything the dog catch's is returned to me because that is where most fun is to had,,i would never introduce a pup to something exciting , unless he thought the sun shined out of my arse first,,thats all bud no big deal, best of luck,, Playing tug to teach retrieving? And letting the pup win-interesting........... been round dogs all my life,and what i found works for me is getting the dog to see you as the focus for its drive,not the ball , not the tug toy , not the rabbit,,they are all just means to an end,,the more you learn bout the mind set of the canine, the easier your relationship will become,,service dogs all over the world including protection dogs work to play tug, the bad guy their chasing with evil intent is to play tug on his sleeve,,my dog retrieves something to me , he knows he gets to play tug with me if he does it right,, not enough folk really understand how drive can be used for any situation ,,best of luck Quote Link to post
