Thank you for your reply. Yes definetely that is a very important issue, but It's a whole different topic i with to address to Adrienne in more details. At the Moment I had "the toy"with Giorgio simply for the Brain training path from Adrienne, I've just undertaken. Thank you for your suggestions I will keep up with hide and seek Cheers 👋

Hi Adrienne, thank you for your quick reply. 🤗 He is 2 Years old (so the old owner thinks) He has been with me for 6 months. Unfortunately though I haven't been able to focus on him as Much as I'd like. I live in the contry side and Giorgio (the german shepard) has run away from his old owner and decided to stay with me a new months after another male dog (Ubaldo) did the same; both attracted by my remake dog (Cecia). Ubaldo is a small mixed dog who had been mistreated and beaten up by people and dogs so he is anxious and defensive and Giorgio (german shepard) has attacked him. Now I keep them separeted and the situation is not ideal as I don't get to spend relaxed time with either of them. Giorgio is jealous as he sees Ubaldo indoors, and everytime he passes by he barks and stands on the Door and Ubaldo is starting ti ignore him. Sorry I went a bit off topic...but anyway I decided to get your beautiful course because I wanted to get closer with both the boys and hopefully feeling comfortable enough to try to put them together. Giorgio seems like a clumpsy huge pup, he has no focus and no boundaries. I noticed that he doesn't know how to express affection, he jumps to bring his face close to mine. Whenever he is frustrated he runs and barks within the enclosure and then comes back. Your course is helping me to get him focused and hippie, but I'm stuck with the "drop" as he doesn't want to take anything that isn't food. I've tried with a rope, playing Also with the female, pulling It and launching it. I've tried with a ball, a stick, a stuffed toy...nothing seems to work, i've Played hide and seek with him, he always find me, he seems to like that but when I try with a toy he Loses interest. Thank you very much i'm enjoying this course a lot.

Hi there, my german shepard has joined the family as An adult. I don't think anybody had ever played with him. I'm struggling to find a game we can do together. He is not interested in Toys (which makes It difficult to procede with the brain training) and his behaviour is unfocused and herradic. What do you suggest to make him interested in Toys? Thank you
