I am no dog trainer but I think she knows it very well. She can balance treats on her nose when I say leave it, ect. When she is trying to "protect" her ball you could yell any of her commands and there would be no response, regardless if she knows it. How can I train her to listen in those situations? When I train leave it in the house she could do it all with her eyes closed and it seems like the stuff I do to help her with "leave it" doesn't even challenge her any more!
