love the comments I so have been there training a nightmare at times came home in tears a few times when things went so wrong not gyps though it was me getting it wrong

a old trainer always told me if you find the item that the dog loves use it no matter what it is, gyps liked her rubber crocodile, before we progressed to her ball on rope which became her training toy even now she will work like mad for her ball, but to be honest we just go through the motions now then she waits for her digestive biscuit I did find with her she never settled well indoors, she muched preffered training schutzand outside and worked a lot better but at the momment you have a teenager on your hands lol but have patience all will work out in the end take it slow if it goes wrong take a step back and start again if you see what I mean colleen
