Building your puppy Drive

People do not realize how important this step is in
confidence building. It does not help that there is
so much misinformation out there on this subject.
Thus, people really do not know what to think. In
order to get our protection dog very tug-driven—
meaning they go crazy when they see the tug and
then they will do anything for it—the owner needs
to limit the pet’s exposure to it. In most military
branches and law enforcement agencies, our dogs
were working for a ball. As soon as the handlers pull
that ball out, the dogs go crazy for it by spinning
and barking and other actions.
So, many people would ask, “How do I get my
dog that motivated for a ball?” First, it goes back
to breeding and genetics. Some dogs, from day
one, just have no interest in tugging or chasing a
ball. That is why it is important to know what type of
puppy you are getting, and who you are getting it
from, to ensure that the puppy will be able to meet
the expectations that you have for it.
