First let me say, Ive enjoyed all the videos Ive bought, (basic OB, establishing pack structure, and now Building drive and focus)Im very new at this so be kind, my focus at this point is a well behaved companion, but Im also interestd in Search and rescue.
Kane has lots of prey drive, and Ive just started the ball on the string part of the video,he loves this and I have a ways to go , my question...do I need to be as particular with the grip and the out as per the video? because we did the Typical "drop it "" with treat and clicker to retreive socks, shoes and other items, as well as playing "fetch the squeeky ball," (and his favorite, the pucks my 15 year old son practices with outside hes gettting really good at stick handling around 4 feet and a mouth, and this is bringing Kane into major drive! he will drop it because he knows Luc will start playing again,) He will drop the socker Ball because he knows Ill kick it again, hes a bit more apprehensive about any other ball because he wants it more than anything, have I messed him up?

What discipline in SAR are you interested in?
If the dog has intense prey drive then you could have him evaluated.....
How you play with him as far as tugging or fetch will not effect any he may have for SAR.

Thank you for your replys,sorry I get a bit rambly. I will keep working with him. I will be looking for an organization in my area and do more research. He will find a toy or treat in the bush next to our house, and once when I was in the hot tub he took my flip flop and when I got out I let him smell my other shoe and I said go find it, and he came back with it . he seems to understand these things without really training...hes really a fun fellow
