Teach your Labrador Retriever the game of TUG. One of the best games you can play with your dog to develop a great relationship and as a reward for good obedience. In this video I address how to start a young puppy off on learning the game of tug, in particular a Labrador, a dog not always known to play tug. We start with Duane as a young puppy of about 9 weeks old, showing how to get the puppy interested and following up with Duane at 2+ years old.
This is a great video to teach most any dog the game of tug, how to make it fun, control the game, reward and develop the best relationship with your dog through playing tug.

Love this video and your channel in general. About a month ago had to rescue a friend's Malinois puppy. I have experience with dogs last rescue, the love of my life was a pit mix who had had some nasty abuse before being rescued. Love your channel. I have always wanted to know how to end Tug - Sinéad my lady Mal now 5 month only puppy LOVES it....Thanks for fun video.....

Hey Robert, thank you so much for your content. It has helped me with my GSD tremendously. The only problem I have is that he is not motivated for the tug toy. I wasn't able to encourage him when he was a pup. How do you suggest I bring that drive out of him. I know he has it because i've seen it before. Thank you again.

Hi there! I love your videos. I have a 5 month german shepherd puppy and your training advice has been a great help. I have a tugging question I would love some help with. As you know german shepherds can be a bit possessive and I can't get my puppy to bring the toy back to me when I let her win it. She will lay down right in front of me and chew on it no matter how much coaxing I do. How can I get her to see that the game is with me and the value is coming back to me to play and not the toy? Thanks!

@josephgodin2260 4 года назад

We brought our puppy to the vet a year or so ago for shots. First thing out of that young vet mouth was not to play tug with him because his a Rottweiler😂. Now we had them for almost 30 years and they all played tug best training tool in my opinion.

@RobertCabralDogs 4 года назад

Vets are usually not skilled in behavior. And trainers are usually not skilled in medicine. Be careful who you ask.

@DougHinVA 4 года назад

The 'TUG' (command) is NOT a contest. It helps a dog strengthen his confidence and paired with 'out' the dog learns 2 useful commands ! TUG is a natural game for a dog and if he is hesitant... help him by rewarding and encouraging even a bit of interest! Show him how to succeed and be praised !

Greetings from egypt! Best trainer online by far! How do i get my puppies ( 3 - 4 monthes) To be actually intersted in pulling the rope They have no interest at all in grabbing it

@alexanca2814 4 года назад

Great video again Robert! Tug is fun but what exactly are the benefits of playing tug, for the dog and for the owner? It bilds drive, it bilds confidence ( in a let's say an anxious dog), what exactly are the tug playing benefits ? I'm asking because later I want to get a Groenendaal too which is far different dog than the Rough Collie I have now. Vielen dank Robert! Gruesse aus Rumaenien!

@ADONAIsays-so 4 года назад

Thank You Robert. I wish I had known about the release training. Our 13 mo Lab pup will let go, but not willingly at times.....and she's strong enough I think she could just take it from me if she chose to do so.

@mariel9180 4 года назад

Mine is same, only she won't let go , I wish I had seen this when I got her

Tug is super fun, tires both workers out. 👍

@kitfoxdesigngroup 4 года назад

I have two labs, two and four years old, and the old school bird dog trainers say not to play tug with a bird dog - but I want to. I would like to think at this point that they understand not to tug birds, both have a phenomenal to-hand out - is it realistic for me to play tug with them? Or should I keep that game for my foster Mal?

@tracywarnock8496 4 года назад

Teach a hold command.

You can use that to create "windows of opportunity". I've started using it recently and it's next level genius. Well worth looking into.

Robert, what if your dog just redirects to biting and jumping you? Leash pop correction?

@LauraHopkinsCDL 4 года назад

Hi Robert, I learnt so much from the full version on your web site RobertCabral.com. Zed is an avid tug fan. I would have bought your tug but the shipping put it beyond my financial ability sadly. I continue to learn even after 48 years training. Thank you so much for expanding my knowledge : ) I did buy Zed a new tug from the company I get these things from, but as they are not taking phone calls due to the virus issue , I can't get full access to the range. It will be a temporary measure. Zed has always played tug using her molars on a flat tug with 2 handles. Only time she uses front teeth is on a burst soccer ball. She retrieves with correct mouth position. This a great content. Thank you and Janet,Dwain and the Pack : )

@petritelezi8079 4 года назад

Can this be done with a black lab too?😅😅just kidding,thanks a lot,your lessons are very helpful!

@crypto66 3 года назад

How do you stop a malinois from trying to jump up and pulling on the tug/your arms while playing? I adopted an 8-month-old and he loves doing that; he also loves standing on his hind legs and trying to "hug" people, so maybe there's a connection. Perhaps a related issue is he also loves to bite and pull on his leash a lot of times, and it's really hard to get him to let go. It seems his previous owners didn't really do any training with him, so I've been having serious issues teaching him and trying to manage his behavior.

What do you do when you shoot a pheasant, and Duane wants to run at you and hit you full force (allowed when he was a puppy), and decides to play tug with the pheasant? Thanks.

@RobertCabralDogs 4 года назад

I don't shoot pheasant, but I understand your question. I've taught Duane to retrieve ducks and he knows the difference. I explain this in my member section at robertcabral.com Basically, he is taught when we tug and when we don't. If he comes and I call him to heel, he goes to heel. Basically it comes down to obedience. Out means Out!

@pennyjowagner290 4 года назад

@@RobertCabralDogs thanks for the answer.I knew it ( obedience) but, just HAD to ask. Thanks. (Ya ought to try pheasant.... a Joy, with a dog. Teach hup to flush so he isnt in front of the guns. ( I actually train the Retrievers to point, or at least hesitate and let gunner flush.) Fun times.

Why is this defense drive not prey drive? I thought it was the latter…?

My chocolate lab loves playing tug and is not at all interested in playing with a ball or retrieving anything for that matter haha. Also he doesnt want to swim and hes 1 year old now. He only goes as far as he can stand.
