"Keep Away"
as told by Ralph Rottweiller 
  

"Hi, I'm Ralph Rottweiller. You may think this game should be named 'Torture with Toys'...But it's really a great game for me, because it gives me a way to work out my prey drive safely!" 

HERE'S HOW THE GAME WORKS

"We need two people and my favorite toy. Now throw the toy back and forth. My prey drive will kick in pretty quickly, and I won't be able to resist the need to chase that toy back and forth."

"I know I look silly, but I just CAN'T HELP MYSELF! Every now and then, please let me catch the toy, and then do that awesome 'GOOD BOY' scratchy-head thing. You know, I'll continue to want to play and be a good sport."
 

Macie says...

Dogs respond to commands out of respect for their owners. Conversely, if your dog habitually ignores your commands, he is showing you that he lacks respect for you.

Behavior problems cannot escalate in dogs who respect their owners.
