SHE NEEDS A DOBIE

A bird dog! Any bird dog will be delighted to hold and carry objects.
Not that getting a Dobe is a bad idea...

OF COURSE IT ISNT

Though my retriever sure does love it he is constantly grabbing stuff out of my hands wanting to cary it. Some might say it’s bad manners but I don’t mind.

About that sock with beef inside: I can picture many dogs just swallowing the whole thing, and then the foreign body surgery involved. Especially terrific at the ER on a weekend...

That’s a good point! I don’t see willow doing that but that is a good thing to keep in mind.

Maybe try with food? Might be enough for her to kinda get the concept of you wanting her to grab with her mouth

I'll Try it, actually I could start this process with like a really basic bone, then transition to tou, then normal objects

And that, my friend, is why you need a dobie

I think she's a long way from Hold.

She is. She has absolutely no training on it, it's just something I've always meant to get around to

Pyrs don't typically mouth things. Personally, I wouldn't ask her to. It does not compute. It's not in her wheelhouse. Fish swim, they don't climb trees. Squirrels climb trees, they don't fly. And birds fly, they don't swim or climb trees. Let her be true to herself. Respect her for who she is. Cultivate her gifts. Love is acceptance.

Yeah bone would probably be a good idea

I knew you’d agree
