Teaching your Dog to "Drop"

This video takes a look at a slightly different approach to teaching your dog or puppy to drop something out of their mouth compared to the traditional swapping approach. Using a more classical conditioning based approach I believe you can get very effective results as I demonstrate with my Kelpie, Cody.

You may have another variation or preference, love to hear more ideas on teaching this behaviour.
