Does anyone's dog never miss anything throwing at them?? How do you teach that? Right now my dogs just look at me like I'm crazy when I throw something to them, and take a step back, just so they can avoid getting smacked in the face, and to give place for the food to land nicely in front of them - then they pick it up and eat it.
Then I bet that is right- Taking out of the kitchen, have the dog sit or stand in front. I mean right in front of you. Its like- you are dropping it on their nose.
