we told him to, but I expect she'll get there. We use "leave" when she's trying to get the cats to play, maybe I'll work with that also, to get her to stop what she's doing rather than the specific "drop" to drop what's in her mouth.

She's smart and needs other things, other interactions, to be happy. Hmmm, maybe will set up an agility style course in my yard, things to jump over, under, etc. I'd rather not have her learn to dance on her back feet. Maybe a stop/drop thing.
