I had to look up the flip turn, but to answer your question.... yes

ETA: being serious Millie is slow in the German about turn and isn’t staying tight even on leash. If I catch her nose with a treat I can “pull her through” okay but it still needs major work

Drive drive drive!!!! Everything in training relates to making drive! So when I get the chance to make the building drive video you will see what I mean! You can have speed without drive

That would be a fun video - what kind of noise statutes do you have where you live?

We get until 11pm.

Have you tried wolf staring him every time he's outside to establish dominance? That would be my go to

If that doesn't work, pee on his shrubbery to put him on notice you have no problem claiming his territory as your own

If you have two dogs or if you go out with friend with a ball minded dog
Both dogs in sit / down position
Throw one ball , release dogs
One dog picks up , raise hand with ball ,, then other dog runs back to get ball
I use ball on rope , and let down run and jump up to get

@odbird ,how old is the dog ?
I think ball on rope is better , makes a whistle type of sound when released , my type of ball and rope floats quickly
Can throw at a longer distance and quickly change ball course
I would try not to play ball at home , play ball outside
Buy a new ball outside
When you throw the ball , you can walk backwards, this will make the game more fun for dog and make your own balance better
If the dog drops ball away from you , insist he pick up , I use the phrase “ pick “
With puppies I sometimes sit on the ground for them to bring ball back
After you have finished playing , let the dog carry the ball back to the house or car
When at home , I take the ball from them

He is 6 months so his attention span might be another factor lol

His attention span is short because the game goes to long and drive isn't being used it's being deminished.... gotta put money in the bank to be able to make withdrawals same goes for drive

Is a game lasting less than one minute too long?

I’ll get maybe three good throws in and then he starts dropping them halfway back. I only throw them maybe 10 ft out at most

30 seconds can be too long If drive for the ball has not been built
