Andy, great pro tip.. and of course my Mal has been improperly biting.. I tried forcing him, he only changed his grip and would use his back teeth.

Hi Mr Andy this is Arya I really like your videos and I really like your dog. thank you for training g Lincoln to stop barking because it really hurt my ears and now he is really good. Someday I hope I can meet you in person🐶🐨🦄🦁🐳 these are my favorite animals 🌸🏆🎼 I hope your daughter is good from Arya

[@AndyKrueger]

Thank you Arya! It was my pleasure 🙏🏼

[@simil252]

Thank you Andy for the video. Question: what’s the ideal age to start tug playing and when to end because of age?

[@AndyKrueger]

8 weeks old to start

[@nreifer04]

My 7 month GSD will tug to get to his bed so he can chew it. Tips for getting him having more fun playing with me? If I let him win the tug he trots off and lays down or just lay down. Same with fetch, he will chase the ball and instantly lay down.

[@goymedhundDogtrainingBehavior]

1. have his back checked if he does this a lot.. not normal behavior and can be muscles/ Back problems L7.. 2. negative experiences with you creates avoidance behavior.. 3. Same problem - avoidance - because from to much pressure or/and high energy from our part.. That will make them go and lay down to avoid working with you... So try to relax and be calm during the training .. I want the dog to play around me and have fun and feel safe.. You can do this - have 2 balls on a rope.. . hold one and stretch your arm out - having it dangeling.. and have the dog grab it and let go.. Then back off or even turn your back and pick out ball no. 2... do the same.. That is one way to start.. Later on you can try to let the dog come between your legs - from the back to avoid pressure.. switch always with 2 balls.. Adress the avoidance before you adress the "loss/let go" behavior.

[@AndyKrueger]

Play outside with nothing else around and always on leash! The leash is an extension of you so if he goes to lay down you can block and redirect 🙌🏻

[@Suqri]

Hey!

I did get a She Bits shirt Thank you. She is crazy about biting she loves it

[@geostorm9351]

Nice tip, thank you. Gonna do it like that with my dog. I been shoving it in his mouth to get the back teeth. Can you tell me why the prong collar is upside down? Any special reason?

[@AndyKrueger]

It’s not upside down.

[@geostorm9351]

@@AndyKrueger oh, looks like the pull portion of it is on the side actually. I was just wondering if you do that for a particular training instead of it being in top.

How old should the dog be when you do this?

[@renefloresvlogs7547]

What size tug is this? Been looking for something similar. Viper k9 smallest 2 handle is 12”x2”. Ray allen too. Redline k9 smallest is 10”x1.5”

Sorry! I’m really not sure

[@NicollasVerneck]

Só I got a malinois that is both ball crazy but also food motivated . I have been struggling to hand feed him he will literally chomp on my hand , any tips on how to use food as reward without losing skin in my hand ?

[@cynthiaaustin1763]

I put my puppy on top of a crate like the one at the end of this video and trained "yes" and luring. It did take a bit of patience just to be able to safely hand feed but she got used to expecting to work on luring on that small space and then we took luring everywhere. Had a dutchie some years ago that I used string cheese that I would slowly advance in my hand so he could access it a small amount at a time, working on distinguishing between hand and cheese. Wish you lots of success.

[@AndyKrueger]

It takes time and practice for both you and the dog for sure! Try using one single piece at a time so the dog can focus instead of just blindly grabbing whatever he can! Take your time and best of luck!

[@wet9808]

Where did you get that toy from?

[@caitegraceify]

Andy any tips on building a decent relationship with a cat and a puppy? I have one cat who does not care at all about dogs and the other is extremely friendly with dogs, I’ve even clicker trained her to sit, place and come when called. We don’t have a puppy yet but will be getting one within the next year. Ideally as an adult the dog will ignore both cats but accept the attention from the friendly one. I know to introduce slowly and have puppy’s main focus be on me and training, crate training etc. not having them together all the time but any extra tips? Anything in particular that would benefit cat owners or is there anything specific I am missing?

[@caitegraceify]

And just because I feel like possibly cats have a bad reputation (who knows why lol), the friendly cat is so well behaved she was asked to be a blood donor because she purrs when she has blood drawn. She’s on the emergency list if they need blood for another cat’s surgery they’ll call me to drive her to the animal hospital an hour away. I swear I’m not bragging. Only just a little. Really just to prove the point that she is really an excellent cat.

[@AndyKrueger]

I would always have on leash around the cats to prevent any bad habits from forming 🙏🏼

[@scottphillips8265]

Where can we order the tugs do you have a store?

[@ace201206]

Hi Andy! Love your videos, love your energy and methods. I'd love your input on something: I have a 5 yo female German shepherd - Belgian Malinois mix. When I first got her I was clueless, so I played tug all wrong and she's no so keen on playing it now, but I really want to 'turn it back on'. I've been using high value rewards, and taught her the command "tug" and she does.. how would you go about this? Do you think it's possible to get her excited about it without the treats? Thanks for your awesome vids!

Mr Andy when i do tug play with my Rottweiler he bite only from his front side teeth not bite strongly from inside like in your video BM....how to increases or correct for proper strong bite??? Pls advice.

[@AndyKrueger]

Proper application of tension and training equipment 👌🏼

[@No1StoppedMe]

How do you teach your dog not to chew on the tug and hold/possess it instead?

[@AndyKrueger]

Applying the right pressure at the right times

[@o_monteiro_gustavo]

Andy, whenever my dog wins the tug, or the pillow or sleeve, he drops the toy and starts chewing on it, trying to rip pieces of it. Any tip to get a more stable bite when there's no fighting?

[@sun82w]

Andy, do you wait for all the adult teeth to grow in completely before playing tug with puppy or is it okay to do it when all puppy teeth have dropped out and adult are in but not fully grown?

[@AndyKrueger]

I do not do biting exercises during teething 🙏🏼

[@ProfNomis]

Hi from the UK, Andy. Another mega video, your channel is awesome! I’ve just started tug training with a client’s GSD. You’re going to think this is a stupid question, but I’ve seen in several of your tug training videos where you stroke the dog under his chin and stroke the sides of his face while he’s biting the tug. Is that some kind of positive reinforcement thing or is there some other specific reason you do this? I really appreciate your time here. Keep on keepin’ on buddy 👊🏻

[@AndyKrueger]

Thanks! This communicates to the dog that I like what they’re doing 👍🏻

[@josiehandicott1683]

And biting is very tension releasing for a dog, like a massage is for humans.

[@model3life]

Wondering about the words “yes” for biting and “done” for release. Amazing! Where would I be able to learn the process of getting to be that specific training for our dog. Is that in a previous video. Great job!

[@AndyKrueger]

It’s pretty basic actually! You can use whatever words you’d like. Check out some of my tug videos on this channel, or you can join my Patreon 👍🏻 Patreon.com/ANDYKRUEGER

[@kimberlylevin2191]

How would you assess a puppy’a bite at 8 weeks when choosing a pup from the litter for obedience & personal protection? Not necessarily IGP or French ring sports. Thanks awesome stuff!

[@AndyKrueger]

Thanks! Of course I’d want to see a dog that likes to bite confidently right off the bat. BUT, at 8 weeks old there’s only so much you can look for. It can be somewhat like trying to asses toddlers to see who will be best for professional sports! Haha! So I look for confidence in general, then have a better idea after owning the pup for several months 🙏🏼

[@tommygifford7975]

So basically feed the tug to the dog slightly just like a boxing trainer would feed a pad to a boxer

[@AndyKrueger]

You could say that yes! Make it very clear to the dog how you want them to bite. Then when they understand, you won’t need to ‘feed’ it, they’ll seek out the full grip no matter what 💪🏼

[@ernaldaes4300]

[@johnlindsay8630]

Hey Andy I don’t think you’ve ever mentioned this about trimming of the nails the length of the nails cause I see your dog jumps all over you were that and if they’re not kept certain length there just as bad as his teeth they’ll they’ll scratch the shit out of you yes or no

[@AndyKrueger]

Not necessarily. I’ve never trimmed my dog’s nails lol

[@johnlindsay8630]

And I noticed Andy you’re telling at your dog in French commands if you speak English to them and command him while he still do it

[@AndyKrueger]

Sorry not sure I understand the question! 😬🙏🏼

[@johnlindsay8630]

Yes her about that maybe I’ll speak English know what I was saying is the commands that you give your dog there in French I believe is that the only language he will understand so if you tell him to sit he’ll set an English well he listen or will he just called he’s not speaking French

[@augmentos]

Good tips but you reinforced him lunging for it a few times, dangerous
