Do yourself a favor and take the toys away from her. Only use it as a reward for whatever training you're doing. None of my dogs ever had free rein to chew on things without our presence. If she loves that toy that much use it as a reward for training only and your training sessions will go really well and she'll learn that much faster

That’s what I’ve been doing Paul. She doesn’t get it unless she retrieves it and brings it to me. I let her have it right alongside me. If she brings it to me before I count to three she gets to keep it for awhile. Then I have her retrieve it again.

If she doesn’t return it to me by the time I count to three I take it away. Put it on the table where she can see it but can’t have it. Drives her crazy.

She knows what I want her to do. But she’s just enough of a knucklehead to make things difficult

Good deal. Kong toys are pretty good if you can get her to get into one of them

My daughter found this one. Spunky Puppy. It flies like the other one, but it had a 30 day warranty. That’s about 25 days longer than the other one lasted.

She doesn’t like it quite as much as the other one, but she still loves it. Has been playing with it for about a week and it still looks good. I think my training is starting to work too. I think she is developing a softer mouth with these toys.

Probably as close to getting her to retrieve a duck as I’m going to get.lol We’re having fun though so it’s all good
