I put a decent sized oval shaped potato in a sock,tie a knot in it fold it back over the potato tie another knot and cut off the excess.When this thrown underarm for the pup because of its weight and irregular shape, jinks and stoats all over the place,unlike a tennisball which only runs straight and can cause a dog to overshoot it's strike.It gives the pup a chance to get to jinking and turning at an early age.It also smartens the pups head giving it the knowledge that what it is and hopefully will be chasing doesn't run straight.I play this game everyday aswell as stockbreaking it and learning it to jump etc. as age allows.I start the game at about 12wks and continue with it untill I'm throwing the potato as hard as I can and the pup is catching it before it stops.Then I move on to rabbits,I know that I maybe prattling on but the difference this simple game has made really needs to be seen to be beieved,giving the dog an almost perfect strike rate,footwork like Mohammed Ali and the ability to turn like a fish.

I use a dummy wrapped in rabbit skin, good weight and retains the smell and feel of fur, change the skin every few weeks.
