I have a 6 month old lab/shepherd mix who LOVES to play fetch. She has no problem bringing the ball/frisbee back to me, but she won't let go of it! She doesn't growl when I try to take it away but she likes to see if I can take it from her. She starts obedience class in 2 weeks but I'd like to stop the 'accidental' chewing of my hands now while I'm trying to get the ball back. I've tried ignoring her until she drops it but then she just walks away. I've also tried throwing one ball and when she brings it back to me, to throw the second ball hoping she'd drop the first. A lot of times she just brings the first ball with her to get the second one! She knows sit, shake, lay down, off... but this is one I just can't get her to do! Patience, I suppose. Any ideas?
