My Dog's Favorite Toy is... Ball, Tug or ME? 

I cover a lot more about you training in my online lessons available on my site. robertcabral.com

Your videos are always amazing and inspiring to be a better dog owner. The relationship you have with Goofy is utterly amazing, I suspect is he could talk, he would say you are favorite

Goofy is a great dog to show, no matter how old he gets, he is still a big puppy

Squeaky balls, probably high prey drive. The squeakier he better lol.

My dog's favorite toy is me. It doesn't matter if it's a ball, tug, plushie, or Frisbee, as long as it's me throwing it, she is excited. When we go to the dog park, she just wants to play with me.

I was doing this exact exercise with Nyx at the hotel in California last week waiting for our load home back to Oh Canada, but with her frisbees. I was mixing in obedience and tricks, and I had a few people ask me if she was a working dog or a show dog, and they were quite surprised when I told them she's just a well disciplined pet Dobie...as our Lab was getting pets from every person watching lol Time and effort pays off! Cheers

Clean your lens 😂

I've been watching you for a long time. I love that dog. You two are amazing together.

Yet another great video! I have 2 GSDs a 5yo male & 2 yo female. My boy loves his balls, especially the Chuck It brand. 2nd is Tug toys. My female loves Tug toys. When going for hikes, sticks! The male loves BIGGER the better & my female loves to try to take whatever stick he has to no avail, Lol! But throwing sticks is a great game for us. Allowing training & fun at the same time. Practicing the “Out & Leave it” commands reinforces them. As always, a great video! Thanks!

Awesome training session. You are amazing.

Does it have to be the same two toys or can it be two different toys

if u his favorite toy then yo got a serious problem! how many stitches you got so far mate?

How can i get import the melanvo to India. What would be cost of male puppy

Youre the Best Robert!! -Thanks for making our (me&my dogs) relationship so Great! Your training makes all the difference. Im a member at your webbsite, and i have never regret it ever! At first, i thought; ill be a member a mounth or two; too get too all the good stuff. But i realized, that even if i dont watch your videos everyday; its soo beneficial too just popp in too the webbsite; whenever i want too, -too adress a certain issue or train a specific thing. Its like having a dogtrainer "on call" whenever i have a question. I Warmly Recommend Robert and his site, for all types of dogowners, from puppies too seniordogs. One always learns something new. Thanks again Robert Your doing such a Great job! much appriciated that you share it all! Best Regards Chris & Harry "the dog".. from Sweden

I want my dog to out because I told him to. Not because he thinks I have another toy

Sir Robert, as usual, You know.👍👍👍

My best Friend.

love this! 🥰

Wow, just great training lessons.

Awesome! Keep doing what you do!

What if the dog doesn’t bring the toy back? Then what do you do?

Great video!!! I have a question when you say stay it means stand?

Do you have any suggestions for stopping a six month old Polish Hound from eating every stick he comes across..other than a muzzle? I've suggested long leash training to the owner as she allows him off leash and then tells him off when he eats sticks. I'm fearful he will do serious internal injury unless something changes.

What amount of free time should a young working dog have? We train our 3 month old malinois 4-5 hours per day and are unsure of the number of hours of playtime on his own that he should have per day.

My dogs favorite toy is a squirrel, and second favorite toy is me.

Where can I get your training vest?

My dog only wants one ball. How do I break that? So she will ignore 3 balls to only play with one..she will drop it but I cn throw 18 balls but only wants the one ball.

At first glance this video appears to be a rather light issue when an owner is focused on nipping, jumping, aggression or socializing. However in reality it is one of the most important because it shows the significance of me being in charge and control of the relationship as well as the fact that unless I am my dog’s number one focus she won’t respond in kind when I need it, as in recall, out, leave it. Thank you Robert for another brick in the foundation of my relationship with Maggie.

1st Comment here hehehe watching from Philippines 🇵🇭 i really love your video i learn a lot from you sir now im a dog trainor now

The problem I see with this is that I don’t want to be bribing my dog to drop something all the time. What happens when he bites a decoy? How do you get him to let go if you need 2 toys all the time? On top of that it devalues the toy he would currently have in his mouth because he is always looking for the next toy. In my opinion you should only use 1 toy but people should do what works for them. Robert is certainly a good trainer and it’s alright if we have opposing views. I’m sure he has answers for these issues and has thought about them

This video was interesting. Dog I lived with liked to play with her humans and with toys, like a ball. I believe dog liked her people better than toys. I tried while playing to take the ball, and I said "Give", while I and dog both held the ball; doggy would not release the ball. I then tried saying "Give", dog still held the ball, so I stopped playing and walked away, into the house. Not so fun now, but doggy followed me and came into the house. The next time we played with a ball, and I held the ball and said "Give", the little doggy released the ball from her grip. Nice! Effective.

When my lab was still living, sometimes we would "wrestle around on the ground". We would start out with toys and end up chasing each other around the yard and rolling around on the ground. Is this something you can do with a dog like Goofy ?
