PLAYING TUG THE LEERBURG WAY – 09.07.2010

Here’s a short video of Orso playing tug.  We play this alot – usually outdoors in the grass – but with all the rain, the game was moved indoors.  Just cause it’s raining doesn’t mean Orso loses his playtime.

We are using a method of playing tug that helps to build drive and focus.  When the game ends, the tug toy is hidden and will not come out again until next tug session.  We learned this from one of Leerburg’s dog training DVDs – The Power of Playing Tug with Your Dog.  As you will see, he almost always brings back the toy and has learned the “out” command very well.  Enjoy!
