One skill we focus on at the beginning of our training is teaching a dog to drop something. Having a reliable "Drop It" command can actually be a lifesaving skill, and it can save you LOADS of time when it comes to teaching your fetch command. The dog training secret that's built into this skill is good leadership. The most important part of this exercise is that you DON'T make the common mistake that most people make, so you can get success sooner!
